Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary

Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary offers a verse-by-verse guide through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, exploring its doctrinal richness and devotional beauty for a broad readership.

Adapted from sermons preached by Dr. R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Fla., this book follows the practice of lectio continua—continuous exposition through a biblical book. Across fourteen chapters, Sproul moves through the full arc of Ephesians, from Paul’s opening doxology on election and predestination through the nature of salvation by grace, the unity of Jew and gentile in Christ, the life and calling of the church, and the believer’s spiritual warfare. The commentary addresses both the theological content and the pastoral application of each passage.

Sproul gives sustained attention to Paul’s teaching on God’s sovereign grace in salvation, the believer’s union with Christ, and the practical implications of the gospel for Christian conduct, marriage, and the church’s foundation on apostolic teaching. Throughout, he connects careful exposition of the biblical text to the realities of worship, obedience, and spiritual growth. The book is intended as an overview and introduction rather than an exhaustive treatment, focusing on the key themes and ideas that shape each passage.
