| Summary |
"The Whole Armour of God" by John Henry Jowett is a spiritual and theological work written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the metaphorical armor described in the Bible, particularly in the letter of Paul to the Ephesians, emphasizing the spiritual warfare faced by Christians. It discusses the various components of this armor, such as the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shield of faith, offering insights into how believers can prepare themselves for the challenges of faith and life. The opening of the book introduces the concept of facing invisible antagonisms, as described by the Apostle Paul. Jowett sets the stage for understanding the hostile environment in Ephesus, where early Christians struggled against worldly influences, pagan practices, and societal customs that clashed with their newfound faith. He emphasizes the importance of relying on God's strength and the various pieces of divine armor to withstand spiritual attacks. The chapter serves as a foundational overview, urging readers to equip themselves with the spiritual resources necessary for a victorious Christian life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
