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.

Barnett's commentary is relatively brief -- especially compared with those of David Garland and C.K. Barrett, the leading authorities on 2 Corinthians. But he is very readable, and his focus is always on the edification and encouragement Paul's letter offers to modern believers.
