An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C.
Ortlund
Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally
distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul's most distinctive
epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims
to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The
importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an
ideal study for believers today.
In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author
Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments
presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations,
Ortlund expounds two predominant themes--inaugurated eschatology and
strength through weakness--and connects various other motifs traced
throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ's resurrection
ushered in the new realm--one where life and ministry are flipped upside
down, and God's power is intertwined with human weakness.
