The Apostle Paul wrote the little house churches of the ancient metropolis of Ephesus this amazing truth: through such as you the purposes of Christ will fill the world; he is transforming all things for you and through you. Now Dr. Bryan Chapell, noted preacher and teacher of preaching, unfolds Paul's glorious description of how this triumph of the church will occur and what our roles are in Christ's ultimate victory.<

About
The Reformed Expository Commentary Series:
The Reformed Expository Commentary focuses on the English rendering of the biblical text, and thus does not address concerns of the original language nor academic technicalities. Rather, proceeding section-by-section it focuses on the narrative flow of the biblical book, while drawing out significant points or theological emphases in the text, and then applies them to the daily life of the Christian.
br/>The various points addressed range between historical events taking place within a books narrative, or upon significant doctrinal statements that are made. The application or "guidance" section as the series calls it rounds out each of the particular emphases from the text making it a complete expository volume. Each commentary approaches the text from a Reformed theological perspective, and can be used profitably for either study or devotion.
