The Message of 2 Corinthians by Paul W Barnett
The letter of 2 Corinthians is important, Paul Barnett believes, for its magnificent message that God's power is brought to people in their weakness, not in human strength. This momentous theme emerges in a dramatic real-life situation. The apostle confronts shadowy opponents who had recently come to Corinth and formed an alliance with some of the church leaders and members. His letter is a fascinating record of that conflict. Paul Barnett argues that this heated debate between apparent power and apparent weakness is still with us today. His aim in this exposition has been to allow the timely message of 'God's fool' to be clearly heard.
Paul Barnett was, until his retirement, Anglican Bishop of North Sydney, Australia. He is a visiting fellow in ancient history at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, and a teaching fellow at Regent College, Vancouver, Bristish Columbia. His books include Jesus and the Logic of History,Is the New Testament Reliable?, Messiahand commentaries on 2 Corinthians and Romans.
