Ephesians: An Exegetical Commentary is Harold W. Hoehner's comprehensive technical treatment of the letter, the product of decades of teaching at Dallas Theological Seminary. The commentary works systematically through the Greek text, weighing grammatical and lexical options, surveying the history of interpretation at disputed points, and documenting the discussion exhaustively. It opens with an unusually full introduction, including a lengthy argument for Pauline authorship that has itself become a standard reference on the question.

This volume is intended for pastors with working Greek, seminary students, and scholars who need the full state of the discussion on a given verse rather than a summary of it. Its length and detail make it a reference to consult passage by passage during sermon or paper preparation rather than a book to read straight through. For anyone preaching a series in Ephesians or writing on the letter, it is among the first commentaries to have at hand.
