2 Corinthians
Second Corinthians is the most personal of Paul's letters, providing unique insight into his heart for God and his motivation in ministry. With his credibility under attack, Paul reluctantly defended himself for the sake of the gospel. In doing so, he offers a perspective that will encourage every believer, especially when enduring the hardships of ministry.
Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.
The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk.
Unleashing God's Truth one verse at a time
"Clear, reasonable, understandable, devout-all things and more can be honestly said about this generation's greatest single-author pastoral commentary set. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series is a help to Christians and preachers. Forged in the study, fired in the pulpit, these comments on the whole New Testament are a gift from one who loves Christ, given to Christ's bride, the church."
-Mark Denver, pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.
"Dr. MacArthur's love for the Scripture and his many years of diligent study have resulted in a resource that is a great gift to the Body of Christ. I have found this tool to be a great help as I study the Word and teach it to women. I often refer to this set of commentaries to enhance my understanding of the text and to shed light on difficult passages and questions."
-Nancy Leigh DeMoss, author, Revive our Hearts radio teacher
"John MacArthur has provided a compelling example of pastoral ministry based on the Word of God. Now the fruit of that ministry is available to us all: careful attention to the text of Scripture and faithful theological exposition, all in the service of the church of Jesus Christ. Both pastor and layperson will benefit for years to come from this unique commentary series."
-C.J. Mahaney, president of Sovereign Grace Ministries
"The MacArthur New Testament Commentary is nothing less than a library of faithful exegesis and exposition. This project is unparalleled in our times, and John MacArthur has produced a masterful commentary series that demands attention and deserves a place in every preacher's library."
-R. Albert Mohler, Jr., PhD, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY

One of the best available,
This review is from: 2 Corinthians (MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series) (Hardcover)
A detailed expository style commentary, the "MacArthur New Testament Commentary: 2 Corinthians" is one of the best modern commentaries available. Some of the features that put it into this category include an excellent overview of the prevailing cultural and political situation as well as historical factors affecting the text, as well as a detailed examination of how the text applies to the reader today. I particularly liked the fact that John MacArthur does an excellent job of providing material that is instructive and interesting for the serious Bible student while still written in a way that the average person can still understand. This is a very difficult tightrope to walk effectively and MacArthur does it brilliantly. The main portion of the commentary examines the book of Second Corinthians pretty much verse by verse. When appropriate he may take a more overall viewpoint as he delves into a theological truth that applies and at other times he may delve even deeper into an examination of a single pivotal word. This ability to get to the detail without losing the overall picture makes it a remarkable book. Second Corinthians is one of the more interesting books and yet one of the least studied ones in the New Testament. It stands strong as a testament to our current world situation. Corinth was an area of great political power, a growing economy, and great commercial power. It stood strong as a beacon to others to come there and try to get their share of the bountiful riches of Corinth. However, with all of this came loose morals, false teachers, and others that would undermine the society. Does all of this sound familiar? It should. A study of the problems of Corinth and Paul's response to them is a study of America today. The "MacArthur New Testament Commentary: 2 Corinthians" is a study of dealing with a problematic church and is a highly recommended read.

John MacArthur does it again!,

This review is from: 2 Corinthians (MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series) (Hardcover)
John MacArthur is deservedly one of the most important preachers in the USA today, and Corinthians is one of the most relevant Pauline Epistles to life in a normal everyday church. This amazing combination - great author, great Biblical book, comes together in this commentary. If you want to know how your church ought to be biblically - ie not according to whatever the latest fad might be - then this is exactly the kind of book that your pastor and all the pastoral team ought to be reading. Christmas is coming - make sure that your pastor gets a copy from you soon! Christopher Catherwood, author of CHRISTIANS MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE (Zondervan, 2003)

Okay But Not As Good As Most,

This review is from: 2 Corinthians: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Kindle Edition)
I usually love MacArthur's commentaries; his one on I Corinthians, for example, is quite helpful. This one is written at too much of a lay level and does not dig as deeply enough into the text at hand as others do; instead, he develops the topics suggested by the text (he brings in too many other verses and displaces real exposition). It is doctrinally solid and not bad, but as a commentary, it is perhaps his weakest.
