Summary: Ephesians: An Exegetical Commentary
Comment: An Amazing Discovery: My wife and the Vice-Chairman my church board lovingly describe me as a "book-a-holic," and I confess that they're correct in their assessment. I love to read and study, to dig deeper into God's Word, and to share what I've learned with others. I suppose this is my "excuse" for having so a large library scattered all over my house. When I was a younger student and pastor, I bought books just because they looked like they might be interesting. Now that I'm an older student and a more experienced pastor, I only want to acquire boos that are nuggets of gold. Eureka!! (Verb, Indicative, Perfect, Active, 1st Person Singular {VIRA-1S} of the verb "to find," hence a strong exclamatory "I found it!" which was brought into English directly as a transliteration, like was done with Amen! and Hallelujah!) Enough Greek grammar. Eureka! I recently found a superb (maybe incredible is a better word) commentary on Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, one that is great for advanced laymen, Bible students and pastors who do not know Greek, but incredible for those studying Greek. The author, Dr. Harold Hoehner, received his Ph.D. from Cambridge University and is the Distinguished Professor of NT Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, arguably the best evangelical seminary in North America. Dr. Hoehner's commentary is the work of a lifetime, a 930 page giant that is written so clearly that every level student and pastor can benefit from its use. I just finished reading the section on the "armor of God" in 6:10-20 and this section has motivated me to read the entire book. Dr. Hoehner's work will take you deeper into Ephesians than you ever dreamed possible, while at the same time, challenging some of the "folk theology" served up weekly by North America's usually poorly educated TV preachers. His outline is so clear that a pastor could use it as his preaching outline for a good six months, and still have enough material to have a Wednesday night discussion group concerning what he preached the previous Sunday. Imagine how much the group of people in your church would grow if you did this? The only drawback of the book is its cost, $59.99 retail but $41.99 discounted at Amazon. They also have used copies for around $36.00 (all in USD). It's not yet available in Libronix format and may never be as Baker Book House will need to recover the cost of publishing this gold mine. By the way, if it was twice the price, it would still be worth it. If your family or your church would like to buy you a birthday or Christmas present that you'll cherish and use for a lifetime, you may want to consider this commentary. Eureka!!! I found it!!! And now I'm going to find the time to devour it. Oh, yes. You'd probably like the title. Ephesians: An Exegetical Commentary. Enjoy! Dr. Norman R. Goos, President - The Kairos Institute, Trinidad & Tobago

Summary: One outstanding commentary!
Comment: I purchased Hoehner's commentary on Ephesians with reservation. I knew he'd be a solid, evangelical scholar (he's a distinguished prof at Dallas); I knew this would be a solid, thorough treatment of Ephesians. The thing is over 900 pages long, after all. But I wanted a commentary that would "preach." All too many scholarly commentaries are dry-as-dust, verse-by-verse affairs that frankly don't help a pastor put together a sermon.
This commentary by Dr. Hoehner was a wonderful surprise. Hoehner provides an outline of each unit of text which is built right into his commentary section. And he provides summaries and conclusions which contain the "Big Idea" (or Central Truth, or whatever you prefer to call it)of that unit of text. Why don't more scholars do this in commentaries?
And Dr. Hoehner helps you swim through the Greek like a duck through water; he provides his own translation, and he constantly provides necessary parsing for the reader. But most important of all, he has the best discussion of grammatical categories that I have ever seen, translating a phrase as it would be if it were instrumental, or cause, or sphere, etc., so that you can follow his argument. He lovingly mines the Greek text for everything it can yield, and he actually brings his reader right along with him!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this commentary. This is the fruit of an outstanding scholar who has prayed and studied and labored over Ephesians for years.
