The Message of 2 Corinthians

by Paul Barnett

Book Overview

The letter of 2 Corinthians is important, Paul Barnett believes, for its magnificent message that God's power is brought to people in their weakness, not in human strength. This momentous theme emerges in a dramatic real-life situation. The apostle confronts shadowy opponents who had recently come to Corinth and formed an alliance with some of the church leaders and members. His letter is a fascinating record of that conflict.

Customer Reviews

Good overview of 2 Corinthians

Barnett's commentary is relatively brief -- especially compared with those of David Garland and C.K. Barrett, the leading authorities on 2 Corinthians. But he is very readable, and his focus is always on the edification and encouragement Paul's letter offers to modern believers.

Teaching 2 Corinthians

I found this to be an excellent accompaniment to other commentaires. We have used this book in teaching at our Bible College and students have found it very helpful. Rev. Cassandra Gagnon
