NBBC Ephesians Background Practice Test

Traditionally, this letter is attributed to Paul the Apostle. That attribution fits the opening, where the author identifies himself as Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, a self-designation that matches Paul’s other letters. Early Christian tradition consistently held Paul as the author, and the themes—the unity of believers in Christ and the church as the body of Christ—align with Paul’s typical theological focus. While some modern scholars question Pauline authorship for stylistic or vocabulary reasons, the traditional view remains that Paul wrote this epistle. Peter, James, and Luke are associated with other writings and roles, not this letter.
