Overview
Mitzi L. Minor’s commentary on Second Corinthians takes the reader deep into the thought world of Paul and his congregation at Corinth. She explores the social and theological tensions that shape Paul’s relationship with the Corinthian Christians. His letter expresses Paul’s joy that prior severe correspondence had been positively received and problems were identified. Paul addresses issues that were tearing the church apart. False teachers were sowing discord and maligning Paul’s character. Paul found that many Corinthian Christians repented of their rebellion, and he encouraged them even as he sought to assert his role as Apostle. Minor encourages the reader to imagine the radically new, at the time of Paul’s writing, church in Corinth. This was not a body of like-minded and similarly stationed citizens, but a novel collection of diverse people with disparate interests, struggling together to live as Christians in a world confronted by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“That is, Christ’s love, shown in his willingness to face death for us, is so great that, once Paul ‘got’ it, Christ’s love could do no other than shape his behavior.” (Page 110)
