The church in Corinth was a problem for the apostle Paul. So much so that, with a clear view of godliness balanced with an attitude of love and humility, he gently admonished them and corrected them by means of a letter--1 Corinthians. The results were favorable, and a happy Paul followed up with a second letter to the Corinthians. This self-study guide will help you understand the contents of that second epistle, which includes personal glimpses from Paul's life, encouragement in stewardship, and a defense of his apostolic authority. The books in the Jensen Bible Self-Study Guide series are designed to provide you with a broader understanding of God's Word. Offering historical context and background, author information, charts, and other helps, these books will equip you with a comprehensive reference tool you'll return to often. Each study includes an opportunity for analysis, response, and further study in a response-oriented format. The thirty-nine books in this series are suitable for both personal and group use.
