📱 eBook en inglés COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

In Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians, Charles Hodge offers a verse-by-verse exposition that weds grammatical-historical analysis to doctrinal synthesis. Attentive to the Greek text, he elucidates election and grace in chapters 1–2, union with Christ, the reconciliation of Jew and Gentile, the nature of the church, the household code, and spiritual warfare. His prose is sober, lucid, and pastoral, in continuity with Old Princeton Reformed exegesis and in conversation with Calvin, Meyer, and Alford. A leading nineteenth-century Presbyterian theologian at Princeton Theological Seminary, Hodge combined Scottish Common Sense realism with a careful critique of German scholarship. European study and long classroom service sharpened his commitment to the Westminster Standards and to the churchs edification. The commentary reflects convictions evident in his Systematic Theology: confidence in Scriptures clarity, suspicion of speculative criticism, and a resolve to serve pastors and educated laity. This commentary rewards preachers, students, and thoughtful laity seeking exegetical precision joined to robust theology. Use it alongside modern critical works for balance: Hodge supplies historical depth, clear argument, and doctrinal ballast without obscuring the texts devotional force. For anyone tracing Pauline thought in Ephesians, this remains a reliable and invigorating guide.
