The Shield of Faith Ephesians 6:16 Excerpt The shield  in a Roman soldier’s attire, made of wood, was about 2 1/2‘ wide and 4’ long. It was overlaid with linen and leather, to absorb fiery arrows. Thus it also protected the other pieces of the armor; hence Paul used the phrase,  in addition to all this. Of faith is a genitive of content; the shield consists of faith. The idea, then, is that a Christian’s resolute faith in the Lord can stop and extinguish  all the flaming arrows of the evil one  aimed at him. ( Cf . “evil one” [Satan] in John  17:15 ; 1 John   5:19 .)  More Hoehner, Harold W. “ Ephesians .”  The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures . Ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B.
