2 Corinthians: a Guide for Reflection and Prayer (Daily Bible Commentary)
Aida Besancon Spencer
Paul's second letter to the young church at Corinth was forged in the heat of difficult circumstances. False teachers were challenging the apostle's authority, and Paul was forced to present a defense of the practice of church discipline for those who had strayed. Inhabiting one of the Roman Empire's most immoral cities, believers in Corinth alternated between self-indulgent excess and misplaced asceticism. In the face of the Corinthian church's disappointing failings, their exasperating vacillation, and their hurtful criticism of his ministry, Paul's deeply sensitive letter shines with heartfelt love and concern.
The Daily Bible Commentary
A mere reading of the Bible fails to fulfill its ultimate purpose. The Bible's message is meant to transform. The Daily Bible Commentary series distills the best of current scholarship into the straightforward language of a devotional. It skillfully opens each New Testament book and helps readers respond to the eternal truths within. General editors Richard A. Burridge, Dom Henry Wansbrough, and David Winter, together with other renowned scholars from an array of Christian traditions, provide helpful introduction, accessible explanation, and fresh meditations on individual passages. Balancing profound reflection with penetrating insight, the two-page daily readings engage the mind while never failing to touch the heart.
