  While Paul was sitting in prison, contemplating his upcoming trial and potential work in the west, he began formulating some parting comments to make to the churches of Asia Minor. As he dialogued with his amanuensis over its contents, a rough draft of Ephesians was probably put together in outline form. The amanuensis then began to fill in the details. Then, startling news from the east came: there... Read more »

  Reflect With what mood would you say Solomon concluded this book? Watchful, warning, final, stern, he wants his readers to learn from his study of the wisdom from the world and God. You will be judged for everything you do so walk with God and seek wisdom. What is the relationship between fearing God and keeping his commandments? Fear = respect. Commandments = love. A father does not give commandants... Read more »
