Reviews

"Gombis makes a convincing case that Ephesians is calling us to commit to cruciform and subversive performances, and for this powerful point alone, this book is a valuable read."
*Wes Vander Lugt, Transpositions, March 8, 2011*

"This commentary . . . Provides a concise, fresh look at Paul's letter to the Ephesians."
*Cliff Kvidahl, Bible Study Magazine, May/June 2011*

"What Gombis gives us here is not another commentary of Ephesians but a perspective on the letter as a whole that ultimately enlists us as players in God?s story. . . . The book reflects extensive research on the cosmic warfare elements in Ephesians and Jewish thought of the time, a vision of Ephesians that is both faithful to the text and captures our imaginations in a fresh way, and is good scholarship that is written to serve the very church he sees as a central actor in this drama of God?s triumph."
