      ab: The article examines the political language used by apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians. In contrary to the conception that the text reflects Paul's conformation to the structures and values of the Roman Empire, it argues that the book of Ephesians shows various signs of counter-imperial resistance by promoting the creation of an alternative political identity in the church assembly that focuses on Jesus Christ as the only Lord. Moreover, it contends that Ephesians criticizes the Roman imperial ideology as well as the predominant social values.
