Key passages to start with
What to expect
The letter begins with a wide view of what God is doing and then turns toward how that vision should shape communal and personal life.
Because of that, Ephesians often feels both elevated and practical at the same time.
How to begin reading
Read the first half for the large theological picture and the second half for the lived response that follows from it.
Unity, maturity, holiness, and steadfastness are major lines to watch.
