The Message of 2 Corinthians (The Bible Speaks Today Series)

Another excellent commentary in the Bible Speaks Today series. This one is more concise than some others in the series, and yet covers the major issues well, not avoiding difficult interpretations, but dealing with them briefly. There are also good applications to church life today. I highly recommend this, especially for those who are teaching 2 Corinthians.

Barnett's commentary is relatively brief -- especially compared with those of David Garland and C.K. Barrett, the leading authorities on 2 Corinthians. But he is very readable, and his focus is always on the edification and encouragement Paul's letter offers to modern believers.

I found this to be an excellent accompaniment to other commentaires. We have used this book in teaching at our Bible College and students have found it very helpful.Rev. Cassandra Gagnon

An excellent explanation of the situation facing the apostle Paul when writing again to the Christians in Corinth. 'The Bible Speaks Today' is a perfect title for this series of books because that is precisely what the Bible does.

This is a good reference book to enable a better understanding of Paul's letters to the Corinthians. I use it for sermon research when a reading from 2 Corinthians is the Common Worship Lectionary epistle for a specific Sunday, as well as for personal understanding.
