In this clear, practical, and relatively brief commentary, Anthony Thiselton brings to bear his intimate knowledge of Paul’s theology, the ancient city of Corinth, and Paul’s epistles to the church of that city. The commentary is not only critical and exegetical, but also has a focus on practical and pastoral reflection.
Second Corinthians is Paul’s most passionate epistle. It shows him to be a man of very deep feeling, who sometimes has to be frank, even blunt, with those who seek to undermine his work. In this commentary, we see the inner turmoil of a devoted missionary pastor and apostle. We also have the opportunity to explore how power can be expressed through weakness by pastors and all Christians who follow a Christ crucified and risen.
