About the Book

The letter to the Ephesian believers is largely misunderstood these days. While everyone loves Ephesians 2:8 and 9, few are aware of the far-reaching implications to be found in the context surrounding that pair of verses. Ephesians is about kingdoms, community, and warfare. It is about the culmination of the Messianic Kingdom and the blending of Jews and Gentiles into one new community, never before dreamed of by either. This little letter is almost a chapter-for-chapter exposition of Isaiah 55-59. The parallels are fascinating, and carry great significance when considering the meaning conveyed by Rabbi Sha'ul (AKA Paul the Apostle). Readers won't want to miss out on this study, with its insightful approach to the Scriptures! "EPHESIANS" can serve as an excellent tool for personal study, devotional reading, or group discussion. It contains well-researched material, but is written in a style that is easily accessible to all readers, young and old. Regardless of age or experience, this work will open the reader's eyes to new ideas that will make a tremendous impact on his or her life. Relevant and eye-opening, "EPHESIANS" is a must-read for everyone interested in the message of the Bible-Jews and Gentiles, Christians and Messianics, congregational leaders and "just plain members". At the core of this book lies a call for unity among followers of Messiah Yeshua, regardless of ethnic background. The author has been part of the Messianic Jewish community for over thirty years, and brings to the discussion a great deal of information relating to the Jewish background of Rabbi Paul. So, prepare to dig into Ephesians from a perspective you've probably never heard before!

Customer Reviews

This book gets my strongest recommendation. Depending on the degree of your intellectual honesty? you will either love it or hate it. No matter your personal views? the challenge is well worth the price of admission. By the time you finish the first chapter? you will be engaged. By the time you finish the read? you?ll want another go.

David Negley developed his unique perspective from a love of God? a good work ethic? a strong scholastic foundation and from personal and congregational community service over the course of thirty years. As a practicing Messianic? teacher? curriculum designer? avid historian and servant of the first order? this author has an intimate understanding of religious and cultural bias as it applies to doctrinal drift. Ephesians ? The View from the Mishkan? is not a casual commentary. It is a major course correction? aligning contemporary note with first century Messianic context and praxis.

Mr. Negley?s style is friendly? engaging and concise. The first reading of this beautifully crafted exposition is like a comfortable stroll with a dear friend; one with a charming knack for challenging the ?given? and demanding you think before you answer. It?s an enjoyable encounter you cannot let pass without planning the next.

The first reading of this work is not what is most impressive. Though at ease with the challenges? you will not become too comfortable. With each successive read? the fallacies of popular and prejudicial misconceptions are clarified and stripped away in a paradigm shift of foundational relevance. He rarely misses the opportunity to follow-up with ?the good question?.

As I wrote elsewhere concerning David Negley?s excellent treatment of the Letter to the Ephesians:
?Seldom does a treatment of scriptural analysis maintain such clear critical thought while fostering a sense of easy familiarity with the material. The well placed use of every day examples and accepted practices help
