Publisher's Description: When Paul arrived, Corinth was prospering as 'the forth largest city in the Roman empire, a commercial bridge between East and West. It had two harbors - one on the Aegean and on the other on the Adriatic Sea. Situated at such an important cross-roads of the ancient world, it became notorious for its sexual vice and immorality. The description of Gentile sin in Romans 1:18-32 fits Corinth exactly.'

Paul Preached the gospel there in the early 50s, stayed for eighteen months, and established a church there.

2 Corinthians - 'Paul's most autobiographical letter, in which he opens his heart more than in any other' - shows the 'privileges and pressures of pastoral work'. It also contains 'unique passages about perseverance under trials, the nature of Christian service, evangelism and giving.'

As with other volumes in this series, the value of the exposition is enhanced by the Group Study Guide which follows.
