My object is to open up the infinite fullness of our living Head to all weary souls, and unfold, as far as I see them, the glories of the God-Man, in whom and for whom I live and move and have my being. I have opened up very fully the believer's standing in the Christ and the hopes and duties which naturally flow from it, and in doing so I have rendered, I believe, a good service to the present generation of the Church, who are more occupied than they ought to be with material interests and worldly pleasures. - Author's preface.

The lectures were delivered quite extemporaneously, without any other preparation than sincere prayer, that God would be graciously pleased to bless his own Word, plainly and simply expounded, to the instruction and edification of those who attended, and they were preserved as delivered, by a reporter whom the congregation assembled there, kindly employed to take them down. These lectures, therefore, consist of a very plain, unadorned exposition of that apostolical Epistle, which next to those addressed to the Romans and the Hebrews, may be said to comprehend the fullest scope of divine truth of any in the New Testament. There are not any vital doctrines which are not fully developed or implied, nor any precepts which are not enforced in the Epistle to the Ephesians, and which must not be consequently treated of, in any consistent scriptural exposition of it. It has been the anxious desire of the writer to adhere with the closest simplicity to the letter of the text. - Preface.
A new commentary for today's world, The Story of God Bible Commentary explains and illuminates each passage of Scripture in light of the Bible's grand story. The first commentary series to do so, SGBC offers a clear and compelling exposition of biblical texts, guiding everyday readers in how to creatively and faithfully live out the Bible in their own contexts. Its story-centric approach is ideal for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and laypeople alike. Each volume employs three main, easy-to-use sections designed to help readers live out God's story: LISTEN to the Story: Includes complete NIV text with references to other texts at work in each passage, encouraging the reader to hear it within the Bible's grand story. EXPLAIN the Story: Explores and illuminates each text as embedded in its canonical and historical setting. LIVE the Story: Reflects on how each text can be lived today and includes contemporary stories and illustrations to aid preachers, teachers, and students. —Ephesians— Like all of Paul's letters, Ephesians is centered in the gospel and its implications. It tells the story of what God has done in Christ and spells out the ethical implications of this story. But the letter to the Ephesians is unique among Paul's letters in many ways, including in how it tells of the story of God, beginning "before the creation of the world" and ending in eternity. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
