In his letter to the Ephesian church, the apostle Paul lays before his readers God's plan of salvation, which is to be fulfilled when all things find their rightful place in Christ. Paul draws out the practical implications of God's purpose for the body of Christ, showing how the unity of a new humanity is revealed within it as a foretaste of the ultimate unity of all things in the Son of God. This commentary shows the relevance of Ephesians for the church in Asia today seeking to understand God's eternal purposes in Christ, especially in the face of pluralism, suffering and injustice Commentary Topics: Implications in an Asian context The Indian caste system Salvation by works God's calling Spiritual forces of evil
