In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul used imagery such as walls of hostility being broken down, the building of believers as a temple for God, and the idea of Gentiles being brought near to God through Christ's sacrifice. These visual metaphors emphasize the unity and reconciliation that believers experience through Christ.

Was Paul in prison in Rome when he wrote many letters to churches he started?
A:Although attributed to the apostle Paul, Ephesians was actually written during the eighties of the first century, long after Paul's death. It is known that Paul was imprisoned during his missionary work, and the author of Ephesians mentions Paul's imprisonment to give his epistle a personal touch. A typical method that ancient forgers used to satisfy readers that a writing was genuine, was to include personal details, in this case mentioning Paul's imprisonment. However, Paul did not write this epislte and was dead, not in prison, at the time of its writing.

What is a good pastoral prayer?

Who was Paul writing to in Ephesians 3?
A:More than anything, Ephesians chapter 3 tells us that the epistle was written by the apostle Paul. Twice (3:1. 4:1), the author tells us that he is in prison. He then tells us that he was made the minister to the gentiles and implores his readers to follow his teachings. The reason for this emphasis is that Paul was not the author of this epistle, which was written in his name in the eighties of the first century. By using the name of Paul and by convincing his readers that this was a genuine epistle from Paul, the author really sought to have the following instructions and messages more readily accepted by the early Christians. Scholars say that this book must have originally been an encyclical rather than an epistle to a specific community, as the opening address to the Ephesians appears to be a late addition, not found in the oldest and best manuscripts. Alvar Ellegard (Jesus One Hundred Years Before Christ) points out that Ephesians 3:3-5 says that the mystery of Christ was revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. This suggests a belief held by the author and in some Christian communities that the apostles had visions and not personal experiences as disciples of an earthly Jesus.

What was the historical context of Ephesians?
A: Although attributed to the apostle Paul, Ephesians was actually written during the eighties of the first century, long after Paul's death. Much of the material was copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, also a pseudepigraphical letter, with some changesof wording. As with any pseudepigraphical work, we can not assume that the intended audience really were the Christians of Ephesus, and in any case the opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition. Otherwise, the epistle is not a letter to a church or group of churches, but an encyclical. This author indicates that believers have already been saved by the grace of God, whereas for Paul salvation is not something people already have but what they will have when Jesus returns on the clouds of heaven and delivers his followers from the wrath of God.

What was the major problem in Ephesians?
Ephesians 6:12 speaks of the fight which is not against human foes, but against the "cosmic powers, authorities and potentates of this dark world, the superhuman forces of evil in the heavens." These archons were even thought of as having political organisations like rulers on earth.However, this statement must not be thought of as coming from the apostle Paul. Most scholars say that the Epistle to the Ephesians was written in Paul's name some time between 80 and 95 CE. One clear piece of evidence to support this is that many passages in Ephesians seem to be directly copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, itself a late pseudepigraphical work attributed to Paul.
