Der Epheserbrief

The letter to the Ephesians differs from all other Pauline letters because of its special character.

In his dense and balanced language he develops Pauline theology in a comprehensive way.

The death of Paul was probably the trigger for the creation of this letter.

His words sound like a legacy for the next generation.

He has important things to say, especially for today: With his well-formed doctrine of the church, he provides essential impetus for ecumenical dialogue.

But the letter also offers valuable information for the question of how Christian life can be shaped and how faith can be lived out in everyday life.

One senses that the letter was written from a prayerful attitude.

His words testify to spiritual depth. You can therefore give suggestions in a special way for practicing prayer today.

The interpretation aims to open up the message of the letter to the Ephesians to as many readers as possible and to arouse interest in dealing more intensively with its statements.
