2 Corinthians: Leading in the Middle of Tension - Paperback

by Scot McKnight (Author)

Scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament.

"Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"--Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher

The apostle Paul's second letter to the Corinthians is Paul's most pastoral letter, Paul's most emotional letter, and a view into the factions and the fracturing relations with one of Paul's most memorable churches. In the letter, Paul appeals to unity and expresses joy over the good news he hears about Corinth's believers' reception of his care for them.

In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight reveals the newness and activeness of God's Word as it works in our everyday lives. His unique approach to Bible study combines sound theology with relevant pastoral wisdom. Each volume of this series provides:

• Original Meaning: Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage.
• Fresh Interpretation: Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus.
• Practical Application: Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage.

The NIV is used as the primary Bible text, but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.
