Artemis, Eve, and the Image of God: A Case of Mistaken Identity in Paul's Ephesi

Description: Artemis, Eve, and the Image of God by Joseph A. Brennan, Kent E. Brower, Mija Wi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description What has gone so terribly wrong in Ephesus that Paul feels compelled to write the longest marriage code in the New Testament? 1 Peter only has seven verses about marriage. Colossians only has two. Titus only has two. Why does Ephesians have thirteen? Did Paul wish to set in stone the nature of gender relationships for all of time? Was he trying to ensure the survival of the emerging church amidst harsh Hellenistic realities of hierarchic marriage? Or did he have something else in mind? This is a book about the Ephesians 5 marriage code, the goddess Artemis, Eve, and the image of God in the believer. It explores the adverse influence of Artemis upon the Ephesian believers thought world, why Paul raises up Eve and Adam as the example of loving marriage (5:31), what Paul thought the image of God looked like in the believer, and why some Ephesian believers thought differently. Dr Brennan argues that the primary purpose behind Ephesians 5:21-33 was to evangelize non-believing Ephesian onlookers to an ideal of marriage in Christs new kingdom that far surpassed their personal experience in the first-century Roman world, and that Artemis was getting in the way.
