Paul wrote this letter to encourage the Gentile believers. He wanted to make it clear that Jews and Gentiles have been brought together as part of the body of Christ

Ed Hindson and Elmer Townes describe the book of Ephesians as “personal and pastoral‚ theological and practical” (p 451).

L. Lecture 12 –Ephesians Word Count: 549 1. What data lead many to say that the author of Ephesians seems to have only second-hand knowledge of at least some of his audience?
