What was the letter from St. Paul to the Ephesians for?

The Epistle to the Ephesians was not actually written to the Ephesians, but was an encyclical to the Church as a whole. In contrast to Paul's own use of the term church ( ekklesia, congregation), which he used only to refer to a local congregation, the author of Ephesians used the term in the singular to refer to the universal Church, and the opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition. Ephesians is supposedly addressed to a community of only Gentile Christians, but scholars doubts whether such a community yet existed in Pauline times.The Epistle to the Ephesians copied much material from the pseudo-Pauline letter to the Colossians, which was in turn written sometime during the 70s, and was intended to address a sectarian conflict that had arisen in Asia Minor.

When did Paul write the Epistle to the Ephesians?

Another answer from our community:Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians while he was in prison to help them to keep their faith strong, and more than this because of his love for them. Remember also the church was in it's early days, and temptations to stray from tenants where always a challenge. The Epistle to the Ephesians is believed to have been written in Paul's name in the 80s of the first century. Many passages in Ephesians were directly copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, which had been written around ten years earlier.

What feature makes scholars believe Ephesians was a circular letter?

First of all, many passages in Ephesians seem to be directly copied from the presumably somewhat earlier Colossians.Ephesians is supposedly addressed to a community of only Gentile Christians, but some scholars doubt whether such a community existed in Pauline times, or even by the eighties, when Ephesians was written.The oldest and best manuscripts of Ephesians do not have the address to the Ephesians. The opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition.Apart from the the opening address, the epistle reads like an encyclical, not a letter to an individual community.
