Overview

How can the task of biblical exegesis be fruitful and meaningful when commentaries and lexicons provide contradictory interpretations and seem to support opposing translations? The Exegetical Summaries Series asks important exegetical and interpretive questions—phrase-by-phrase—and summarizes and organizes the content from every major Bible commentary and dozens of lexicons. You can instantly identify exegetical challenges, discover a text’s interpretive history, and survey the scope of everything written about each verse and phrase. Take your exegesis to the next level with the Logos edition of An Exegetical Summary of 2 Corinthians.

“Nakedness would be the soul’s existence in a bodiless state” (Page 182)

“Then in 2 Corinthians he refers to a ‘sorrowful letter’ (2 Cor 2:3), one which he wrote in lieu of making another ‘painful visit,’ apparently referring to a visit he had made after having written canonical 1 Corinthians and during which confrontation and unresolved conflict prompted him to leave in order to avoid worsening his relationship with the Corinthian church. Titus was the bearer of that letter. Then Paul wrote canonical 2 Corinthians, and probably in late 56, and a short time later went on to Corinth, where he spent the winter of 56/57. If this scenario is accurate, we have at least three visits and four epistles to Corinth in the space of about six and a half years. Of these four epistles only two have survived.” (Page 15)

“This comfort came in the form of encouragement and strengthening grace in the midst of afflictions” (Page 23)

“It is used in an adversative sense; that is, notwithstanding all these problems, thanks be to God” (Page 88)

“Christ’s love confines him to one supreme allegiance [NIC1], and to the task of ministry” (Page 199)
