In Reading Ephesians & Colossians, David Starling offers a close reading of both books, attending to both the theological ideas of the two letters and the literary and rhetorical forms in which they are communicated. The commentary is intended to be useful for students of Ephesians and Colossians, within the academy and the church, who desire to listen closely to the text, discerning the original communicative intentions of the author and the significance of the text for Christian readers today.
