DEDICATION
On July 23, 1966, Mrs. Helen G. von Deesten, wife of Lt. Col. Arthur P.
von Deesten and mother of Arthur H. von Deesten, fell asleep in the Lord. Her
hope was that `When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with Him in glory' (Col. 3:4). She was a conscientious student of the
Word and wore out many Bibles while marking cross references. With her quiet,
sensitive nature, she served her Lord and Head without ostentation. Her
commitment in life was to guard the Good Deposit revealed through the apostle
Paul. This book is dedicated to her memory, with the prayer that many may have
their eyes opened to see the glorious calling of Ephesians.

PREFACE
First Edition, 1968
The 82 articles by Charles H. Welch on Ephesians,
that appeared in The Berean Expositor Volumes 35 to 42 (1950 to 1964), were
edited by Stuart Allen to make them suitable for a full length book.
Because articles on the Central Prayer (Eph. 3:14-21) were not printed in
The Berean Expositor, Stuart Allen inserted the relevant section from the first
edition of The Testimony of the Lord's Prisoner pp. 96 to 100 (also written by
Charles H. Welch); to make up the deficiency.
Second Edition, 2003
This edition is also based on the 82 articles that appeared in The Berean
Expositor, but since the publication of the first edition, the missing articles
have been found. They are entitled:
The name and nature of every fatherhood (Eph. 3:15)
page 383.
The Indwelling Christ
page 389.
Consequently, the portion taken from The Testimony of the Lord's Prisoner
has been omitted from this edition.
Further Reading
