Conflict had invaded the church of first-century Corinth. The future of the Christian community was at stake, the essence of Paul's ministry under fire. Paul Barnett shows us how 2 Corinthians addresses an issue that continues to challenge the church nineteen centuries later--how to proclaim the true gospel through authentic ministry.

Publisher's Description

The letter of 2 Corinthians is important, Paul Barnett believes, for its magnificent message that God’s power is brought to people in their weakness, not in human strength.

This momentous theme emerges in a dramatic real–life situation. The apostle confronts shadowy opponents who had recently come to Corinth and formed an alliance with some of the church leaders and members. His letter is a fascinating record of that conflict.

Barnett argues that this heated debate between apparent power and apparent weakness is still with us today. His aim in this exposition has been to allow the timely message of “God’s fool” to be clearly heard.
