Epistle to the Ephesians

Uncommon card · No. 123596

The Epistle to the Ephesians is a Pauline epistle and the tenth book of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It stands among the canonical writings that shaped early Christian identity and is traditionally grouped with the letters attributed to Paul the Apostle. The text is traditionally believed to have been written by Paul around AD 62 during his imprisonment in Rome. It is thought to have been addressed to the church in Ephesus (now in Turkey) and closely resembles Colossians, another Pauline epistle whose authorship is debated. As such, many modern scholars dispute the attribution and date the work to AD 70–100 as a circular letter. Ephesians sets out a theological vision of God's plan to unite all creation in Christ and exhorts the church to embody that unity through reconciliation across ethnic boundaries and holy conduct in everyday relationships.
