My man! I knew there was a reason I liked Wright."The New Perspective starts with Ephesians."
When I was in Bible college, I took a class called "Principles of Biblical Interpretation". We spent an entire semester reading and re-reading Ephesians. We outlined every chapter at least 3 or 4 times. We would discuss a verse to death, then come back two days later and discuss it some more!"...its in Ephesians that you get this close correlation between by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works and therefore, you Gentiles are part of the same family with the Jews. Thats Ephesians chapter 2. I didnt invent that. I merely sort of observed."
Maybe that's why the letter eventually sank so deep into my being. Now, I see it as the key to almost all theological questions. It talks about the integration of Jews and Gentiles into one body, the Gospel message, the spiritual gifts, family relationships... almost everything important is in that short letter.
I couldn't agree more.See the relationship with the Gospel and what he said about Ephesians? Interesting you don't hear this today.
