“Ephesians presents Paul’s most mature thought on several subjects, including union with Christ, the church in God’s purposes, and spiritual warfare. It also offers some unique interpretive challenges in terms of historical context and literary features.  Campbell’s characteristic attention to detail and judicious judgment produce an interpretation of the letter that is both exegetically convincing and theologically rich.  Highly recommended for scholars, students, and pastors.” 
—Brian Rosner, Ridley College

“Campbell’s commentary bears all the hallmarks of the Pillar series: clear exposition, grounded in adequate research, with attention both to the details of the text and to the broader argument. A distinguishing feature of this commentary is its more informal English style, which communicates very effectively and makes reading the commentary a refreshing experience.” 
—Douglas J. Moo, Wheaton College
