Ephesians
Ephesians 1-6
Dr. Tim Mackie
In Ephesians, Paul summarizes what the most important apocalyptic event in history is: Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and the gift of the Spirit to bring new creation right here in the present world. Paul wants his audience to comprehend the nature of the apocalypse of Jesus and how to respond to it. In this class, we’ll take a deep dive into Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and, by placing Paul’s letter in its first-century context, we’ll reshape our perception in significant ways.
