Describe the major thought/issue(s) in a pseudonymous Pauline letter [your choice of the 6].
The Epistle to the Ephesians, a pseudonymous Pauline letter, highlights the unity of Jews and Gentiles in Christ, the church as the Body of Christ, and the necessity of spiritual armor against demonic forces. It also provides ethical guidelines emphasizing love, humility, and purity while revealing the mystery of the gospel, which includes Gentiles in God’s salvation plan through Christ.
What does it mean that Jesus is our “High Priest”?
