Scholarly Reflections
For week four -
Read Ephesians 2:11-22, preparing to discuss the Greek text.
I'll provide you with a copy of Ephesians 2:11-22 which is annotated appropriately for relatively inexperienced readers.
Read Winger pp. 309-351.
Read Thielman pp. 148-186.
Read Peterson pp. 109-128.
Select a passage for your research project.
Some thought prompts:
1) Consider and prepare to discuss the significance of circumcision within Paul's understanding and that of the Ephesians.
2) How is an understanding of circumcision related to the concept of citizenship or being an alien, as applied in verse 12?
3) How does the concept of Christ breaking down “the middle wall of separation” relate to both circumcision and citizenship?
4) The idea of reconciliation may operate on several levels in Ephesians 2. Discuss the concept.
5) Discuss the idea of the building, from vv. 19-22. What is Christ's role? What is the role of the apostles and prophets? What is your role?
