This commentary on Ephesians contains a concise, yet full exposition of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Eadie carefully examines the text, the meaning, and the logical sequence of the epistle—as well as its connection with other Pauline literature. He also comments on the particulars of the Greek text, the meanings of words and phrases, and grammatical features of the book.
"Everything that John Eadie wrote is pure gold. He was simply the best exegete of his generation. His commentaries on Paul's epistles are valued highly by careful expositors. The only regret the purchaser of these volumes will have is that Eadie did not write commentaries on the rest of the Bible. Solid Ground Christian Books has done a great service by bringing Eadie's works back into print." -- Dr. Robert P. Martin According to the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, "These commentaries of John Eadie are marked by candor and clearness as well as by an evangelical unction not common in works of the kind." John Eadie (1810-1876) was a prominent Scottish Secession and United Presbyterian Church minister and New Testament scholar. He was appointed Professor of Biblical Literature in the United Presbyterian Divinity Hall in 1843. His widely acclaimed commentaries on Paul's epistles prompted his appointment to the New Testament committee engaged in preparing the Revised Version of the Bible in English.
This book was first published in 1853, then republished in 1861.
