Pauline Authorship (2)



Anyone writing on Ephesians today must deal with the issue of the denial of Pauline authorship by a significant number of scholars. Skepticism that Paul wrote this epistle was first raised by a few lone voices in the seventeenth century, but became more widespread in the mid-nineteenth century after F. C. Baur proposed that Ephesians originated in the second century. Before the critical period, there had never been any question about Pauline authorship or the canonical identity of this epistle, including its acceptance in the early church among even the earliest apostolic fathers.Ephesians, Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2015), 1.
