作者認為福音派主要的盲點之一就是：忽略教會的核心地位；側重宣揚個人得救，卻不重視叫人進入得救的群體。承認自己是「基督徒」過於承認自己為「教會分子」。所傳的福音注重新生命，過於一個新社會。而以弗所書的信息，清楚說明了神永恆的旨意，就是藉著耶穌基督創造一個新社會。

This is one of the Lifeguide Bible Studies, which is generally a good small group study series. My former Sunday School class liked the Lifeguide format and consequently used many of the guides. So I have first-hand experience, in an actual classroom setting, using many of the books in this series.

I say all that to say this: This particular guide is the best, in my opinion, in this series. There are a couple of reasons for that. Some of the questions in these guides tend to be more subjectively focused on how you might feel about a particular passage or statement. The questions in this guide are more objectively focused on the actual text. The other reason is because the guide closely follows Stott's full-length book on this passage, which is also excellent (but that's another review).

All of that makes this a much better than average small group study guide.
