5.0 out of 5 stars The Believer's Position in Christ, November 21, 2001

By 

Rocco B. Rubino "Rocco R." (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ephesians MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Hardcover)

This is the second MacArthur Commentary I have purchased (the first was Romans), and I must say that I am enjoying this one every bit as much as I did the first one I read.

Dr. Mac has a true gift for expository teaching. He can plumb the depths of scripture "comparing spiritual things with spiritual" without being pedantic. I am using this book in my own personal devotional time, and I am using some of his thoughts on election and predestination in a teaching series at our church.

Dr. MacArthur does a masterful job at making clear the believer's position in Christ. His approach is easily accessible to clergy and layman alike. He brings out strong doctrine, without dogmatism, or denominational slant.

Eventually, I hope to own most if not all of Dr. MacArthur's commentaries as I feel that they are immensely edifying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful commentary for Christians maturing in the spirit., November 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Ephesians MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Hardcover)

This makes the fifth book from MacAurthur's New Testament Commentary books I have purchased. I use mine in my personal devotional time and in preparation for Sunday School lessons. The knowledge provided from an historical perspective add to the books appeal. The books are presented in a way so the average Christian can relate to today's wordly environment. The author gets to the "meat" of the subject and offers more than the usual Sunday School pre-packaged materials. I highly recommend any of the associated books contained within his series on the New Testament.

This review is from: Ephesians MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Hardcover)

Ephesians has been rightly called the Christian's "divine bank account" for the riches that God has given us in Christ. The entire book is directed by Paul the Apostle toward the goal of helping disciples know the riches that are ours in salvation.

Dr. MacArthur writes with that one purpose in mind. While the book is indeed a commentary on Ephesians, Dr. MacArthur has written for the goal of helping every believer know their status in the kingdom of God. You will find that you will want to lay down this commentary and shout praise to our King for His great salvation in Jesus Christ. This book is much more than a doctrinal or technical commentary (it has elements of both) but it also is a book of worship as you see the joys we have in Jesus (Ephesians 1:7; 2:1-10)
