Praise for Reading Ephesians and Colossians

"David Starling has produced a concise, sure-footed commentary on Ephesians and Colossians that is marked by careful research, balanced judgments, and clear prose. He helpfully illumines both the Greco-Roman context in which Paul produced these letters and their deep indebtedness to the Jewish Scriptures. Serious students of the Bible will find in this commentary a competent guide to Paul's argument in Ephesians and Colossians and an invitation into their rich theological truths." -Frank Thielman, Presbyterian Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School
