Greek Greek Greek

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

I really didn't view this so much as a commentary on this book but rather it is a study of this book in the original Greek. The vast overwhelming majority of the study is to go in-depth on the Greek words in the book with little discussion on the theology of the book. I only took 2 semesters of Greek in college but it still wasn't enough to keep up with a lot of the discussions he had about the Greek. You really need to know Greek well before you pickup this commentary. A basic understanding of Greek is not sufficient to get very much from this one.

Lincoln does a great job at clearly bringing out the content of this letter. It is a lengthy read, but overall it's a great commentary. I bought this commentary knowing Lincoln's view of non-pauline authorship, though I did not agree with it, I found it easier to overlook knowing this beforehand. Knowledge of the greek language, even minimal, is also necessary when reading this commentary. Otherwise the reader is not likely to get the fullest benefit from this text.

Lincoln's mysterious author of Ephesians

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

Lincoln's treatment of the Letter to the Ephesians was thorough and well researched. His credentials are good and for the most part he has written an excellent commentary. Lincoln attributes Ephesians to someone other than the Apostle Paul, which smacks of modern criticism. However, I would recommend this volume to any serious student of the Bible.

Love the book. This series just got more helpful for me because I just finished my first semester in Biblical Greek, thus I can understand a bit more in this commentary series!

Doug Erlandson

A well-argued scholar's commenary

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2017

As with most of the commentaries in the Word Biblical Commentary series, Andrew Lincoln's commentary on Ephesians represents a good deal of serious scholarship and is best suited to the serious student, particularly one who already has a good background in New Testament studies and has a working knowledge of the Greek. The work is painstakingly detailed, and the student willing to put in the effort will find that Lincoln has a great deal of insight into the text. As with the pattern established in the WBC in general, the commentary on each section of the text begins with a bibliography (primarily of interest to the scholar), an original translation by Lincoln, footnotes on this translation (primarily dealing with issues in the translation of the Greek text, and so mostly of interest to someone with a working knowledge of Greek), a section titled "Form/Structure/Setting," which provides commentary on some of the more technical points that have been discussed and debated by scholars, and finally a section on "Comment" followed by one on "Explanation." The last two sections contain material that may be of interest to a general audience, but even here the emphasis is on the scholarly. I'll emphasize this again: This is not a devotional commentary.

A couple other points: Lincoln rejects the Pauline authorship of Ephesians. He argues well for this position. In the end, he did not convince me, but it's not my purpose in this brief review to discuss this particular issue, other than to note Lincoln's position. Second, some might find his discussion of the role of husband and wife to be a bit "modernistic" or "relativistic." Here again, I am not convinced by his interpretation, but I respect the clarity of his arguments.

Samuel M Smith

An excellent commentary - but read critically

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2003

Lincoln's thought is clear, lucid and intelligible, which helps him explain what can be one of the more convoluted and enigmatic books in the NT. Now, clarity should not be confused with brevity. This is one of the longer commentaries in the Word series on one of the epistles. Lincoln's arguments are finely nuanced and require much of a reader. But in the end, it is worthwhile.
Lincoln rarely engages in sustained polemic against those who hold to positions with which he disagrees, but rather deals with them and offers whatever explanation he favors expeditiously. His knowledge of koine Greek and textual criticism are encyclopedic.
My disagreements with Lincoln are at the presuppositional level, namely that the letter must be deutero-Pauline because of certain linguistic and stylistic features. It seems at times that he wants to ascribe to "the writer" access to Paul's mind, almost as a doppelganger, but thoroughly and consistently rejects Pauline authorship. Lincoln would do well to consider more seriously the role of the amaneuensis in 1st century letter writing, as well as the amount of traditional material the writer employs before rejecting Pauline authorship.
Second, in his discussion of the passage on marriage (5:21-33) Lincoln falls into the hermeneutical sinkhole of postmodern relativism.
On the whole, though, Lincoln is a brilliant scholar whose work on Ephesians deserves every serious NT student's full attention.

Mr. Leonard F. Clark

A very competent commentary

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

The Word Biblical Commentary series all seem to follow a similar pattern and I can't help but feel that there is a tendency to "name drop" rather than provide necessary references. Having said that, I'd rather have too much than too little.

One of the main (and initial) discussion points of Ephesians is whether it was written by the apostle Paul or a later "Paulinist". I came to the conclusion that the evidence against Paul is too sparse while Lincoln came down on the other side. This does colour the commentator's comments and I sometimes found subsequent comments difficult. However, he deals with his subject well and, despite this fundamental difference, I found myself warming to him and many comments very helpful. In the end, maybe it was better that he took an opposing view: it challenged my "comfort zone".

So, it lost one star for verbosity - but, overall, an excellent addition to the library.

Hab mir das Buch gekauft, weil ich eventuell die CD Rom bestellen möchte. Ich finde, dieser Brief wurde sehr ausführlich und gut bearbeitet. Bin sehr zufrieden. Es ist aber alles auf Englisch. Für den Einen oder Anderen mag es immer viel Text pro Perikope sein. Aber dafür hat man verschiedene Betrachtungsweisen.

定評ある注解書シリーズWORD BIBLICAL COMMENTARYの一冊。
エフェソ書のギリシア語原文は、新約の中でも難解な箇所が少なくない。それらの意味を確定するうえで、不可欠の注解書のうちの一冊。
新共同訳聖書を含め従来の邦訳のエフェソ書がいかに原文の文体から程遠いか、また、解釈が困難な箇所がいかに杜撰に訳されてきたか。本書の注解部分を精読すると、襟を正さざるを得なくなるだろう。田川建三の『新約聖書　訳と註』のエフェソ書収録巻を読み終えた人は、次にこれを読むべし。
