In this addition to the well-received Paideia series, a respected senior New Testament scholar examines cultural context and theological meaning in Second Corinthians.

Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by

∙ attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs

∙ showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits

∙ commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book

∙ focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text

∙ making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format

Students, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight offered in this practical commentary.
