BOOK REVIEW: 
Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary by R.C. Sproul. Ligonier Ministries. 99 pages. 2024
****

This is the ninth volume in R.C. Sproul’s excellent expositional commentary series, from his preaching at St. Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Florida, which began in 1997. Sproul urges his readers to use these books as an overview and introduction.
Sproul writes that the majority viewpoint today is that in all probability, the epistle to the Ephesians was originally written as a circular letter. He tells us that rather than the Apostle’s writing a specific message to a particular congregation concerning a definite problem that had arisen, Paul wrote an epistle that he intended to be circulated to all the churches in Asia Minor.
Ephesians is often lumped together with Philippians, Galatians, and Colossians as the Prison Epistles of the Apostle Paul. Sproul estimates that Paul wrote this letter, which is rich not only in its theological content but in its devotional spirit, sometime between AD 60 and 62 while he was under house arrest in Rome. Sproul tells us that the riches of grace could be said to be the central theme of this entire epistle, and a secondary theme would be Paul’s expression of what the church is supposed to be.
