The Epistle to the Ephesians

These lectures were intended to illustrate to a popular audience the Doctrine and the Ethics of Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians. As they were delivered on Sunday mornings, in the ordinary course of my ministry, it was necessary for the sake of 'edification' to dwell on some topics at greater length and with greater urgency than would have been necessary for purposes of exposition; and for the sake of 'practice' it was necessary to apply the precepts of the Epistle to the details of conduct. --from the Preface
