This commentary is high quality. It combines sound doctrine, scholarly knowledge and an easy to read style. Difficult questions are faced head on but always with a respect for the original text.

The rest of it was okay, nothing spectacular; but the writer's interpretation of Ephesians 4:11-16 infuriates me, this part alone reduced its rating to 1. Junia became "Junias" (masculine), a definitely offensive alteration of the original. No biblical evidence supported his claim that apostles and prophets should cease to exist after the 1st generation of Christianity, in fact, there is a lot in the New Testament itself, especially 1 Corinthians 12-14 and Book of Revelation stating the contrary... He wasn't even bothered to provide sufficient explanations and evidence to back up his claims, expecting his readers to take those views for granted. I regret wasting money on such an off-balance commentary.

Great Explanation of the Prison Epistles

Foulkes' commentary on Ephesians is not only a classic, but a great work to help you understand this Epistle and others like it. Foulkes' Introduction gives an accurate and succinct summary of the historical context of Ephesians as well as laying out the many historical debates over authorship and address.
In the commentary section Foulkes capably breaks down ever verse and lays out many of the sometimes controversial topics. His understanding of the concepts of Election and Predestination and Paul's view and use of them are the best I've ever read. He also covers relationships between husbands and wives, rules for Holy living, and the role of the Holy Spirit.
All in all a great read, you'll be glad you went through it.

it was not the book pictured on the website. my husband wanted to complete his set - this copy stands out like a sore thumb because it doesn't match the rest of the set. I wanted to return it but my husband said not to bother.

The book sent was an older copyright version that served no purpose for my use. It was a waste of money and not the book I ordered. Butch
