In Preaching Ephesians (CM382), Dr. Constantine Campbell teaches how to interpret and preach the concepts communicated by Paul to the church in Ephesus. Dr. Campbell divides the book into logical sections and highlights the key themes and focal points of each passage, concluding each section with practical suggestions on how to preach the text. He also demonstrates how Paul, throughout the book of Ephesians, magnifies the glory of Christ and shows the central importance of our union with Him for salvation, for the church, and for the Christian life.
