The Pillar New Testament Commentary
Series Editor: D.A. Carson

The Pillar New Testament Commentary, designed for serious readers of the Bible, seeks above all to make clear the meaning of the text of Scripture as we have it. Writers of the PNTC volumes interact with the most important, informed contemporary debate yet avoid undue technical detail. Their ideal is a blend of rigorous exegesis and exposition, scholarship and pastoral sensitivity, with an eye alert both to biblical theology and to the contemporary relevance of the Bible.

The Letter to the Ephesians
Peter T. O'Brien

From a foremost authority on the New Testament comes a major new commentary on Ephesians—a letter of truth, love, and unity to our superficial world.

This newest volume in the Pillar New Testament Commentary series provides a rich exposition of Ephesians, one of the most significant documents ever written. Using the fruits of recent biblical research, Peter O’Brien shows how Ephesians sums up God’s magnificent plan of salvation in Christ and spells out his divine purpose for believers today.

A model of the scholarly excellence characteristic of the entire PNTC series (which now features a striking new jacket design), O’Brien’s Ephesians will become the standard work on this profoundly influential book.

Reviews

Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly
Here is a commentary that expounds this marvelous epistle with a clarity and reverence that are quite refreshing. O’Brien draws upon his years of experience as a missionary, pastor, professor, and scholar to write a book that examines all the inspired nuances of Ephesians without losing sight of the main theme all the way…. Practical, scholarly exposition that takes a high view of Scripture.

Theological Book Review
O'Brien has produced a well-researched and clearly presented commentary on Ephesians. He has read widely and thought carefully, so students of the New Testament will find his scholarly contribution a useful addition to their libraries.

Faith & Mission
This commentary is definitely a masterpiece, a volume that without question should belong to the library of all who desire to achieve a profound and comprehensive understanding of the epistle. Its simple, yet highly scholarly style will not only inform, but also challenge the reader to prepare for intense study and arrive at certain positions only after weighing carefully all the evidence.

The 569 page hardcover edition of this resource sells for US$44.00.

Notice: Volumes in the Pillar New Testament Commentary Series all appear in the "Books" section of the Mantis Bible Study Bookshelf. While technically these are commentaries, they are different from other Mantis commentaries because they contain so much information on each New Testament book. As a result, they cannot currently be used with the Mantis "Analyze Verse" feature, but should be read like a regular book.
