In this editorial, David Powlison introduces a special issue of the JBC on Ephesians and counseling. Powlison lays out three ways Ephesians helps in counseling: First, Ephesians is “practical theology.” Second, Ephesians is an open door into using the rest of Scripture. Third, Ephesians is hard to understand sometimes, as Peter stated in 2 Peter 3:15. Powlison concludes that the very subject matter, the many false views that gain currency and our own hearts all hinder understanding when approaching Ephesians.
