NIV Application Commentary: 2 Corinthians |
Second Corinthians is the most personal and complex of all Paul's letters, brimming with passionate self-defense and the intensity of his concern for the church's eternal destiny. In this commentary, Dr. Scott Hafemann explores the apologetic and seemingly divided nature of the letter, which he says flows from Paul's need to address a church still split over his ministry. With special attention to the flow of Paul's argument, Hafemann's commentary maps out the unity and significance of 2 Corinthians by focusing on Paul's understanding of his call to suffer as an apostle. It is this call that provides the framework or his profound theology and poignant applications.Hafemann delves into the epistle's rich themes: Paul's role of suffering as a model for all believers, the relationship between the old and the new covenants, the final judgment, the role of Christ in our reconciliation with God, holiness, evangelism, the fear of God, and the giving of money. Second Corinthians, he concludes, is an open window to the heart of Paul's gospel and its implications for the people of God.
