Inhaltsangabe

The key phrase in the letters of St Paul, and in the Letter to the Ephesians in particular, is "in Him", along with its companions "in Christ" and "in the Beloved". In Him: Discovering Your Identity in Christ explores this theme, which sums up God's purpose for His creation from before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4) until everything is gathered together in one, in Christ (Ephesians 1:10). St Paul calls this plan "the mystery of Christ". This book explores what the mystery of Christ is, and how being in Christ Jesus transforms our identity and the way we live our lives. It is a translation of lectures delivered by a monk of St Macarius Monastery in the desert of Egypt to the monks of the monastery between 1987 and 1989. Together they form an in-depth exploration of the Letter to the Ephesians. The lectures bring Ephesians to life by: Explaining its historical and spiritual context. Examining key verses closely. Connecting St Paul's message to the Gospels and to his other letters. Drawing throughout on the sayings of the Church Fathers. The result gives the reader a cohesive understanding of St Paul's intentions while keeping the Gospel at the centre. In Him is for readers who want to go deeper than a devotional overview: Bible study leaders, servants, theology students, and every Christian who has wondered who they really are in Christ. It also offers a rare window into the Scripture teaching of one of Egypt's ancient monasteries, and into the Orthodox understanding of union with God.
