The Summation of All Things in Christ

Studies in Ephesians with a Local Church Emphasis

Format of Paul’s credal expression  –  Note the absence of any conjunction  –  Why the repeated use of the word ‘one’?  –  Paul emphasizing the importance of church unity  –  What we believe, we believe with others  –  Diversity within unity  –  Not a treatise on the Trinity although the Trinity is clearly expressed  –  Was this a widely used credal formula  –  What is a creed?
