Although a Greek neophyte will be able to learn much from this commentary, a full interaction with the material requires that the reader understand the original Greek language, including syntax. Used in conjunction with several other commentaries on Ephesians, though, it will still be of great help.I should issue one caveat: This commentary is definitely designed for someone with a working knowledge of biblical Greek. In the end, however, one should not expect to find much new and ground-breaking material in the commentary section. Arnold also frequently refers to Wallace and BDAG in the footnotes, which makes diving deeper into a word or phrase much easier for the intermediate-and-above student of Greek. To be fair, Arnold does do the reader a service by providing the actual Greek text along with his translation and by providing paragraph diagrams, which include layman's descriptions of the various parts of Greek syntax that Paul is using. Regarding the actual, verse-by-verse commentary itself, I feel that Arnold has done a good job, although in this respect it is probably equally as good as WBC, BECNT, NIVAC, or any number of other commentary series. This fact alone should be of much aid to anyone who uses this commentary for preaching or study. In addition, Arnold provides a very nice section about the theology of the epistle at the end of the commentary, which means that the work provides not only detailed information about each verse of Ephesians, but it also steps back from the minutia and reviews key themes of the book at a broad level. While this, of course, is standard fare for any commentary, his introduction is among the best and fullest I've read. Arnold provides a detailed and robust introduction to the book that should leave the reader with no questions about the historical background of Ephesians. Arnold remarks that Ephesians is the book out of which he has most preached and taught over the years, and his love for this Pauline epistle comes across throughout this commentary. When I had the chance to grab an early reviewer's copy of Ephesians, I jumped on it! After having spent the last few weeks perusing the commentary, I can say that overall, it is definitely a good addition to my personal library.In the preface, author Clinton E.
