During Paul's ministry, Corinth was a newly rebuilt, bustling,important city in the Roman Empire. It was a place full of pride,individualism, wealth, and religious pluralism. No wonder itsinhabitants held little regard for Paul's message! Sound familiar? Our contemporary culture has much in common withancient Corinth. The relevance of this book to churches today isastounding. Paul delivers powerful theology that turns the valuesof the ancient Roman world upside-down-the grace of God, thecentrality of the cross, and God's power made perfect in weakness.He challenges us to live counterculturally. In this commentary on 2 Corinthians, Pastor R. Kent Hughescarefully examines this letter from the apostle Paul to the churchin Corinth, continuing to provide rich biblical insight for thebody of Christ.Hughes, R. Kent is the author of '2 Corinthians Power in Weakness', published 2006 under ISBN 9781581347630 and ISBN 1581347634.
