A Missionary Reading of Ephesians
A Missionary Reading of Ephesians
Description
Book Introduction
The situation of the Christian community in the mission field allows us to read the biblical text of Ephesians from a new perspective and to move toward a new missionary interpretation of its meaning.

My experience in Pakistan made me rethink my Christian identity and what the church is.
It also raised questions about the missionary significance of Pakistani Christians who, despite discrimination and persecution, do not abandon their religion or convert to Islam for socio-economic gain.
The lives of Pakistani Christians, who, despite suffering persecution in a Muslim land, did not abandon their Christian identity, reminded me of the early church, which maintained its identity as a missionary community amidst persecution, and provided a clue for reading the Bible in a missionary way.

Publisher's Review
There are many voices talking about grand narratives in missionary reading, but in reality, there is little in-depth study of each book of the Bible.
In these times, it is very valuable that missionaries in the field read the entire book of Ephesians from a missionary perspective, rather than focusing on specific texts or specific topics such as ecclesiology. This will be of great help to missionaries who subsequently have the opportunity to study other books of the Bible.
