This page is designed to help make commentaries, monographs and articles on the Epistle to the Ephesians available to those without easy access to a theological library. Many of the links below connect you to scanned, published books and articles made available by Google Books (often 75% of content). Importantly, Google Books allows you to search within a volume and also across volumes (rather than across the entire WWW). The Google Book Project also makes hard to find and expensive monographs readily accessible to researchers. This Reading Room collects those materials on one page.
NB: For screen snapshots, bibliographic management and notetaking while reading the texts below, Zotero is highly recommended ("a free, easy-to-use Mozilla Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources"); use www.WorldCat.org to find related materials not on Google Books, and to locate hardcopies in libraries near you. -Arnold Neufeldt-Fast, PhD.
