The Vision of Ephesians
|
Join us for the launch of Tom Wright's newest book, The Vision of Ephesians. Tom will give a short talk on this work, followed by refreshments. |
About the event
In The Vision of Ephesians Tom Wright takes you on an exciting journey through one of the most profound texts in the New Testament.
In just a few powerful pages, Ephesians presents a sweeping panorama of the Christian gospel, tracing God's redemptive plan from the creation of the world to the time when God will be 'all in all'. At its core, the book highlights the transformative work of Jesus the Messiah and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.
Wright masterfully unpacks Paul's vision of the church - what it is, what it is for, and what it means to be part of the new humanity that God is creating in Jesus. This breath-taking vision of God's purpose for humanity comes into sharper focus when we remember that Paul was writing from prison, urging his readers to engage in spiritual warfare, standing firm in the victory won on the cross as that victory unfolds across the world.
Wycliffe Hall has set itself the modest task of fostering a New Renaissance of Christian scholarship, leadership and culture. As a key component of this vision, an innovative new project starting in autumn 2025 will help us to equip the Church to engage intelligently, creatively, winsomely, humbly with our society again, and to offer it a better song to sing. We will provide a unique formation experience to cultivate theological depth, artistic excellence, and multi-dimensional diversity in congregational music- and worship-leaders.
