Julien Smith analyzes the argument and purpose of Ephesians in light of ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish concepts of ideal kingship. The portrayal of the Christ as a type of ideal king unifies the letter's main themes, most notably the restoration of the fractured cosmos through the reign of God's vicegerent.
