14Ephesians: Christ and the Church
Each of Paul’s letters is classi ed in one of
two groups: (1) early, written during the
years of the missionary journeys; and (2)
later, written after Paul’s arrest at Jerusalem
(Acts 21). Ephesians is one of the later
letters, of a smaller group known as the
“prison epistles.” All of the epistles we have
studied so far are of the early group.
I. PREPARATION FOR STUDY
It will help you prepare to study
Ephesians if you rst become acquainted
with the prison epistles as a group and think
about what it meant for Paul to experience
imprisonment while writing.
A. THE GROUP OF PRISON EPISTLES
The prison epistles were among Paul’s
later letters written during the apostle’s rst
imprisonment in Rome. Study Chart 82 and
observe the following:
1. There are two groups of New
Testament epistles: Pauline and general.
How many general epistles?
2. What early Pauline letters have we not
studied yet?
3. How many groups of later epistles are
there?
4. Name the prison epistles. The order
shown on the chart is the probable order of
writing.1 The identi cation Christological
indicates the general theological content of
the letters, namely the Person and work of
Christ.2
5. 2 Timothy was also written from prison,
but it is not of the group prison epistles.
