Critical and Exegetical Handbook to the Epistles to the Corinthians, vol. 2

The Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament, also known as “Meyer’s Commentary,” is considered one of the nineteenth century’s best English-language New Testament commentaries.

Heinrich August Wilhelm Meyer, a German Protestant with a gift for languages, was known to have an encyclopedic memory and an appetite for buying books. It was not uncommon for Meyer to be reading his contemporaries in his native German and, at the same time, poring over their work in English, Dutch, and French. A natural linguist, he was also well read in Greek, Latin, and even Gothic.

He published the first commentary in this collection in 1832, at the age of 32. He worked on this series, a lifelong project, for more than 40 years, adding to and extensively updating and revising his work while simultaneously tending to a busy pastorate and raising his own family. He completed 16 volumes before passing the baton to a few of his trusted peers.

Volume two of the Critical and Exegetical Handbook to the Epistles to the Corinthians covers the first Epistle, chapters 14–16, and the entire second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians.

With the Logos edition, you have instant access to a wealth of dictionaries, lexicons, and language reference tools. All Scripture passages link directly to the original-language Bible text and English translations, and double-clicking any Greek word automatically opens a lexicon to help you decipher the word’s meaning and context. This makes the Logos edition of the Critical and Exegetical Handbook to the Epistles to the Corinthians, vol. 2 perfect for students, pastors, and scholars.
