A new and better society has been the constant dream of men and women. Responding to this dream, John Stott has been attracted back again and again by Paul's letter to the young church at Ephesus. It portrays a new society of Christs making that stands out in bright relief against our colorless world of oppression, heartache, separation and division.
Paul's letter, with its exultant vision of a renewed human community, has, says John Stott, stirred me deeply. John Stott expounds Paul's theme of uniting all things in Christ by uniting his church and breaking down all that separates us from God, one ethnic group from another, husband from wife, parent from child, master from slave. Paul's insights are for all who want to build the church into the new society God has planned it to be.

Message of Ephesians: God's New Society (2020) (Bible Speaks Today Series)$40.99
This short commentary by John Stott has provided a wealth of insight into the 'queen of the epistles'. Stott has brought forth Paul's theme of unity (cosmic, Jew & Gentile, Christ & his Bride, husband & wife, child & parent, servant & master) in a most excellent and practical way. Taking these eternal, weighty truths, Stott encourages and convicts us to consider what they mean for us today, and presses us to walk in them. Stott's treatment of Eph 5:22-33 I found most beautiful, convicting, and exegetically sound. His entire discussion on Eph 2:1-10 where Paul explains Christ's raising us from death was also brilliant. Overall, Stott's work here (for the layman) uplifts and honours the text (even where he departs from the most common interpretations, it is done with care and humility), and therefore ultimately glorifies the Author of the text. Bravo.
