Second Corinthians (Sacra Pagina) Book

Second Corinthiansis often regarded as the most personal of Pauls letters. He fiercelycounters the attacks of his opponents, and he extensively describesboth the quality and circumstances of his apostolic existence: thesufferings he endures, the opposition he encounters, and his continualcare for the churches. Second Corinthiansis, therefore, highly significant theologically as well asautobiographically. This letter is an especially important documentbecause of Pauls ongoing reflection on his ministry that is relevantto Christians today. Chapters are Corinth and Pauls Visits, Pauls Corinthian Correspondence, Christianity in Corinth, The Events Between 1 and 2 Corinthians, Pauls Opponents, One Integral Letter? A Structured Survey of the Letter, The Theological Significance of the Letter.
