The Summation of All Things in Christ

Studies in Ephesians with a Local Church Emphasis

Lesson 117 : The Wise and Spirit Filled Life of Submission / The Haustafel (5:22-6:9)

THE HAUSTAFEL – WHY ARE WE LOOKING AT THE ‘HAUSTAFEL’ NOW? – WHAT IS THE ‘HAUSTAFEL’ AND WHERE DID THE TERM COME FROM? – THE ORIGINS OF THE HAUSTAFEL – HAUSTAFELN IN SCRIPTURE – FORMAT OF THE EPH / COL HAUSTAFELN – THE EPHESIAN HAUSTAFEL IN THE FLOW OF CONTEXT – SIMILARITIES / DIFFERENCES WITH SECULAR HAUSTAFELN – THE BASIS FOR THE HAUSTAFEL OF THE WORLD WAS THE STATE – THE HAUSTAFELN WITHIN SCRIPTURE ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE OF ITS EMPHASIS ON CHRIST – THE SECULAR HAUSTAFELN ONLY ADDRESSES THOSE IN THE POSITION OF AUTHORITY – THE SECULAR HAUSTAFELN ACTUALLY DEPRECATES THOSE IN SUBMISSION – THERE HAVE BEEN NO EXACT PARALLELS TO THE HAUSTAFELS IN SCRIPTURE FOUND IN THE SECULAR WORLD – UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AS WE CONSIDER THE HAUSTAFELN – HAUSTAFELN WERE NOT MISSIONARY IN PURPOSE – SOME SAY PAUL USED HAUSTAFEL TO DEFEND CHRISTIANITY TO ROME
