In this clear, practical, and relatively brief commentary, Anthony Thiselton brings to bear his intimate knowledge of Paul's theology, the ancient city of Corinth, and Paul's 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. 2 Corinthians is Paul's 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.
"Anthony Thiselton has time and again demonstrated himself to be a master of integrative Christian thinking at the highest level. In this most welcome volume he applies his extraordinary abilities in the service of down-to-earth, pastoral reflection on Paul's most pastoral letter, bringing the best of contemporary scholarship on 2 Corinthians to bear on life in the twenty-first century. Church leaders and laypersons alike will find in this commentary a gift both clear and timely." George H. Guthrie, Professor of New Testament, Regent College this excellent book provides a thorough, practical grounding in Paul's work at Corinth, and throws light and wisdom on every passage in this tricky epistle. In short, it is everything a thoughtful minister will need when faced with a lectionary passage from 2 Corinthians. Peter Clough, Transforming Ministry, Vol 120 No4, Winter 2020
