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.
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.
How many times does Paul say put on in the book of Ephesians?
Paul uses the phrase "put on" twice in the book of Ephesians. Here are the two verses from Ephesians in which this phrase is found: Ephesians 4:24 "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Paul also uses this phrase 9 more times in other books of the Bible: once in Romans (twice if you count "put ye on"), four times in two verses in 1 Corinthians, once in Galatians, and three times in Colossians.
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.

Tradition holds that the Epistle to the Ephesians was written by Paul from Rome, while in prison, but Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that Paul's Letter to the Ephesians is not authentic. He says there is not a suggestion of the personal Paul in it - the style and vocabulary are both different, and even the rhetoric is entirely different. Many passages in Ephesians even seem to be directly copied from Colossians, which is also widely acknowledged to be pseudonomous.
