'And The Two Shall Become One Flesh': A Study of Traditions in Ephesians 5: 21-33
Cambridge University Press, 2004-12-02 - 188 pages
In
this detailed exegesis of Ephesians 5: 21-33 Dr Sampley not only
elucidates the meaning of this difficult and historically important
passage, but he also discusses and describes the background and sources
of the Epistle. In particular he traces the history of the traditions
incorporated in it and demonstrates convincingly that the writer of
Ephesians drew heavily on certain passages in Genesis and Leviticus.
Ephesians can be seen as a mosaic of traditions ingeniously arranged and
employed to express the new message of the early church. This book
should be of interest to all Old and New Testament scholars.
