A Better Homily on the Household Codes (Ephesians 5) - Paper
Update: 2025-09-10
Description
In this episode, Mary reads us a paper she wrote about how to preach on the household codes in chapter 5 of Paul's letter to the Ephesians. She looks at two commentaries which represent diverse views on how a contemporary audience should approach Paul's advice to husbands and wives and talks about where they fail to be helpful. She also recommends what attitudes and mindsets best enable one to preach/teach about these issues in a way that is useful for growing in holiness.
