On careful reading on Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians one finds it difficult to escape the conclusion that he was not so much writing a letter as developing a portrait of the kind of person the believer ought to be in every aspect of his life. When seen in this way the epistle is the most profound, the loveliest and the sternest of all Paul’s epistles.
The author hopes that this interpretation of the Epistle to the Ephesians as a portrait of the saint will be found to complement the splendid and more detailed exposition of the epistle by John Carter.
