The Letter to the Ephesians

Abstract

Two lecturers given by N. T. Wright on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians at the 2013 SCTS conference are reproduced here verbatim. Presenting a fresh perspective on Ephesians, his exegesis of the letter is combined with an illuminating use of the nature of Second Temple Judaism and this wider context provides some rich and fruitful insights and as such provides a superb introduction, in nuce,to his important work on the Pauline corpus as well as to some aspects of his wider thought.
