Called by one commentator “the crown and climax of Pauline theology,” it issues a clarion call to all who follow the Master. With its dual focus on Christ and the Church, as well as its careful presentation of doctrine and duty, Ephesians points the way to true Christian living and victory in a sin-embattled world.    In this helpful volume, Pastor Hughes provides an engaging treatment of the major themes of Ephesians: The celebration of full redemptionThe mystery of a new humanity—a third race—in ChristThe fullness of the Spirit for holy livingThe beauty of God-given roles in the home and workplaceThe implications of our position with Christ in the heavenly realmsResounding victory in spiritual warfare This practical commentary on one of the most important expositions of Pauline soteriology in the New Testament will challenge and equip both pastors and students for a walk of spiritual power.

Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view.    This book describes their journey and their liberation from the \"success syndrome\"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry.    This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484225544565,"sku":"9781581349740","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781581349740.jpg?v=1786266273"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-r-kent-hughes.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
