Ephesians has long been a favorite New Testament book among Christians. Its exalted language and soaring metaphors inspire devotion and worship. But too often the expositor's scrutiny has reduced this letter to a string of theological ideas and practical topics.??Timothy Gombis has rediscovered Ephesians as a deeply dramatic text that follows the narrative arc of the triumph of God in Christ. Here Paul invites the church to celebrate and participate in this divine victory over the powers of this present age. In Gombis's dramatic reading of Ephesians we are drawn into a theological and cultural engagement with this epochal story of redemption.??*The Drama of Ephesians: Participating in the Triumph of God* stands in the scantly occupied shelf space between commentaries and specialized studies in Ephesians, giving us a unified and dynamic perspective on this classic text. It is a book that will renew your excitement for studying, preaching and teaching this great letter of Paul.

I came across Tim Gombis' book some time ago, and its title caught my eyes. It is called The Drama of Ephesians. But Ephesians is a letter, isn't it? It is not a story, or a drama. But I wondered whether it's possible that Paul's letter would invite us to join him on a journey? That is, could Gombis' book take us on a journey of following Jesus and hence participating in the story of Christ? As it turns out, The Drama of Ephesians is one of the best books I've read. It talks about the story of Christ, whose death is the way through which God triumphs over evil. The book invites us to follow Christ's way of life by living out the """"drama"""" of the cross. In other words, we are called to embody Christ's pattern of life. Just as Christ triumphed over evil by his death on the cross, so we participate in God's victory by embodying a cruciform lifestyle. Tim Gombis faithfully interprets Paul's letter to the Ephesians in its original historical context, and at the same time makes it real and relevant to Christian discipleship today. I highly recommend this book to thoughtful Christians who are serious about following Jesus.
