The Epistle to the Ephesians is traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul. According to the New Testament, Paul wrote the letter while he was in prison, likely around AD 60–62, addressing the Christian community in Ephesus. However, some modern scholars debate the authorship, suggesting it may have been written by a follower of Paul after his death, possibly between AD 70 and 100. Despite this scholarly debate, the traditional view that Paul is the author remains widely supported in many Christian traditions. The letter emphasizes themes of unity in Christ, salvation for both Jews and Gentiles, and practical Christian living.
