Second Corinthians (Sacra Pagina) Book

Second Corinthians is often regarded as the most personal of Pauls letters. He fiercely counters the attacks of his opponents, and he extensively describes both the quality and circumstances of his apostolic existence: the sufferings he endures, the opposition he encounters, and his continual care for the churches. Second Corinthians is, therefore, highly significant theologically as well as autobiographically. This letter is an especially important document because of Pauls ongoing reflection on his ministry. It is both profound in its content and style for its original audience as well as for todays readers. It is a message that is relevant to Christians today. This book is part of the series Sacra Pagina,a multi-volume commentary on the books of the New Testament thatpresents fresh translations and modern expositions of all the books ofthe New Testament. It is intended for biblical professionals, graduatestudents, theologians, clergy, and religious educators. The volumespresent basic introductory information and close exposition, with eachauthor adopting a specific methodology while maintaining a focus on theissues raised by the New Testament compositions themselves. The goalof Sacra Pagina is to provide sound, critical analysis without any loss of sensitivity to religious meaning. Author: Jan Lambrecht, S.J.
