Theologischer Handkommentar zum Neuen Testament / Der zweite Brief des Paulus an die Korinther
Erich Fascher, Joachim Rohde, Udo Schnelle, Christian Wolff
The Second Letter to the Corinthians brings us closest to Paul, the human and Christian. Outrageous accusations and suspicions in the church question his calling to be an apostle and his message about Christ. He passionately defends the position he holds. Still, the letter creates difficult historical and literary questions. Is this only one letter? How can we explain the obvious jumps between different themes, the stylistic breaks, the confusing organization of the text?
Christian Wolff addresses these content problems methodically and finds: The letter generally forms a textual unity. Starting from this premise, Wolff outlines the main points of Paul’s theology.
