2 Corinthians: A Short Exegetical and Pastoral Commentary

In this clear practical and relatively brief commentary Anthony Thiselton brings to bear his intimate knowledge of Pauls theology the ancient city of Corinth and Pauls 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 Pauls 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.
