Most thorough commentary I've ever read. Truly no stone left unturned. Background information, word analysis, and grammatical analysis are detailed and full. Always substantiates decisions with reasons. He gives helpful overviews and summaries at the beginning of end of each section.
When I went through it, I didn't know much Greek--and I learned a lot from watching him use it. I think I would benefit much more now.
Sometimes, Hoehner will stop with the identification of a grammatical category and not really explain what it means. He uses terms often like "in the sphere of", or "the standard of". Hoehner has more exegetical detail, but O'Brien excels him in lucidity of expression.
Hoehner comes to a rather strange view on Ephesians 4:11 show more that it refers not to the apostolic / prophetic office but to the gifting and that such gifts occur today as well. This has implications without room here to explore.
Hoehner will spoil you! He will make you wish every commentary was filled with as much thought and detailed explanation! show less

In my humble opinion, it is one of the best exegetical works on Ephesians (next to O'Brien).
