Summary

John Muddiman questions the assumption that if Ephesians is not by Paul, it must be wholly accounted for as an example of post-Pauline pseudepigraphy. He explores an alternative: that it is an authentic letter subsequently edited and expanded. The perspective of other scholars is also discussed.

The Epistle to the Ephesians by John Muddiman

In this new commentary Muddiman questions the assumption that if Ephesians is not by Paul it must be wholly accounted for as an example of post-Pauline pseudepigraphy. He explores an alternative: that it is an authentic letter subsequently edited and expanded with the aim of adjusting the Pauline tradition to meet a new situation. All the perspectives of major modern scholars are discussed and assessed particularly on the question of Ephesians' relationship to Colossians. The implications for the question of the authorship on Paul's theology are extensively explored.
John Muddiman is G. B. Caird Fellow in New Testament Studies at Mansfield College in Oxford and a lecturer in theology at the University of Oxford. He is the author of The Epistle to the Ephesians and the co-editor, with John Barton, of the Oxford Bible Commentary.
