In the previous post<\/a>, I shared how I wanted to know what the book of Ephesians was about. Now, we will look at the second of the four areas that I covered:<\/p>\n

1. What the book of Ephesians was about<\/a>
\n2. The background of Ephesians<\/strong>
\n3. What is actually in the Ephesians
\n4. How the book of Ephesians should affect my everyday life<\/p>\n

To find out a little more about the background of Ephesians, I read through Acts 19, which tells about Paul’s time spent in Ephesus. It is a helpful exercise because I could see not only that Paul faced while he was there, but also what the Ephesian people would be experiencing and a little of their culture. I was able to understand a little bit better about the readers of the book of Ephesians and how they might have read and understood what Paul was saying to them.<\/p>\n
