2 Corinthians - (N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides) by N T Wright & Patty Pell (Paperback)

About the Book

With a scholar's mind and a pastor's heart, N. T. Wright guides us through the New Testament book of 2 Corinthians, moving us from the world in which it was lived into the world in which we must live it again. Includes thirteen sessions for group or personal study.

Book Synopsis

Paul's second letter to the Corinthians explores the meaning of the cross in terms of personal suffering--his own, and that of all the Messiah's people. If in Galatians he is angry, if in Philippians he is joyful, in this letter his deep sorrow and the raw wounds of his own recent suffering are very apparent. Yet he is determined to view all of his suffering and all of the troubles of the world through the lens of the gospel. These studies by Tom Wright on this powerful epistle point us toward the strange comfort to be found in the suffering, death and resurrection-life of Jesus, the Lord of the world.
