About this Episode
Rome had the soldiers, the prisons, the emperor. Paul had chains. And from a prison cell, he wrote a letter claiming that Jesus was actually the one who defined ultimate power.
In Chapter 1 of Ephesians, we open a nearly 2,000-year-old letter written to a church in a city dominated by the massive Temple of Artemis and the authority of Rome ... and ask what Paul meant when he said God's plan was to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
