The key to unlocking the context of the book of Ephesians has eluded Bible interpreters since the advent of replacement theology. Did Jesus abolish the “law of commandments expressed in ordinances?” How are Gentile believers “fellow heirs?” Who are the spiritual forces being battled with the famed “Armor of God?” D. Thomas Lancaster believes he has discovered the missing key and has completed a new commentary on the book of Ephesians that answers these and other pressing questions about some of Paul’s most difficult material.
