'The brevity of the overall book probably weighs in its favour as a resource for pastors.'
Richard Briggs, Biblical Studies Bulletin, June 2013

"Of particular interest is Cohick 's discussion of what she regards as Paul's teaching on wives, families and slaves. She writes out of an American situation and wants both to take Ephesians very seriously and relate it to contemporary thought and the origins of contemporary thought on these subjects. [...] This is a useful book in the study of Ephesians".
Donald A. Bullen, Liverpool Hope University, Theological Book Review (tbr), Vol. 25, No.2, 2013

"...this commentary is a short, valuable guide to Ephesians. It succeeds in accomplishing one of the key aims of the series, 'to provide an occasion for authors to reflect on how the New Testament impacts the life, faith, ministry and witness of the New Covenant Community'. I would recommend the work to any interested lay readers or ministerial candidates who are looking for an informed, but non-technical, commentary on Ephesians."
Seth M. Ehorn, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, in The Expository Times, Vol 125, No 7, April 2014

'This is a well-written commentary, which is easy to read and infused with dashes of ironic humor ... A worthwhile commentary for ministers and students, for Cohick combines well-crafted explanations and arguments with fresh insights.'
Julie Woods, Reviews in Religion & Theology, Volume 21, issue 3, July 2014

Ephesians speaks to our deepest questions about God:the redemptive plan of God written from ages past now revealed; the work of Christ complete and eff ective now and for eternity; the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives and build a community. Th e clear message of God's unfathomable grace establishes the believer's hope and under-girds the call for faithful living. Down through the centuries, the clarion call to unity that permeates Ephesians has inspired and challenged the faithful to live out the promises found in Christ. This short letter speaks to the twenty-first century's longing for friendship and wholeness.
