Contents:
Introduction to the task -- Comparison of Ephesians with Colossians -- The political in Ephesians -- The vision of peace in Dio Chrysostom -- The vision of peace in the Confucian Four books -- Comparing visions of peace.
Summary: Although scholarship has noted the thematic importance of peace in Ephesians, few have examined its political character in a sustained manner throughout the entire letter. This book addresses this lacuna, comparing Ephesians with Colossians, Greek political texts, Dio Chrysostoma (TM)s "Orations," and the Confucian "Four Books" in order to ascertain the rhetorical and political nature of its "topos" of peace. Through comparison with analogous documents both within and without its cultural milieu, this study shows that Ephesians can be read as a politico-religious.
