	Commentary on 2. Corinthians - by A C Gaebelein
		This second epistle is inseparably connected with the first Paul had written to the Corinthians.
		He wrote therefore, this second epistle in which he expresses the comfort which the news of their repentance had brought him, but in which he also very strongly defends his personal character and his apostolic authority.
		While the epistle to the Galatians is the defense of the doctrine of the Gospel against false teachers, the second epistle to the Corinthians is the defense of his own personal character, his apostolic authority, his motives and his ministry.

	Encyclopedia: Second Epistle to the Corinthians
		The Epistle to the Ephesians is one of the books of the Bible in the New Testament, traditionally said to be written by Paul at Rome about the same time as that to the Colossians, which in many points it resembles.
		The Third Epistle to the Corinthians is a pseudepigraphical text alleging to have been written by Paul of Tarsus.
		Epistle (in Scripture) The Old Testament exhibits two periods in its idea of an epistle: first, it presents the epistle under the general concept of a book or a writing; secondly, it regards the epistle as a distinct literary form.

	First Epistle to the Corinthians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is one of 4 letters to the Corinthians written by Paul the previous letter which has probably not survived is referred to in 1 Corinthians 5:9 and a "letter of tears" is referred to in 2 Corinthians.
		1 Corinthians is a letter, or a conflation of several letters, from Paul of Tarsus and Sosthenes to the Christians of Corinth, Greece, one of the core group of Pauline epistles whose authenticity has never seriously been questioned.
		The traditional subscription to the epistle, translated in the Authorized Version, states that this epistle was written at Philippi, perhaps arising from a misinterpretation of 16:5, "For I do pass through Macedonia," as meaning, "I am passing through Macedonia." In 16:8 Paul declares his intention of staying in Ephesus until Pentecost.

		The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, New Testament Introduction- Louis Berkhof.
		The apostle points the Corinthians to the example of the Macedonians who gave abundantly for the poor at Jerusalem, 8:1-7; and to the example of Christ who became poor that the Corinthians might be enriched, 8: 8-15.
		The second characteristic of this Epistle is closely connected with the preceding one; it is the most unsystematic of all the letters of Paul.

	Conflict and Community in the Corinthian Churches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The two Corinthian commentaries are each divided into 5 chapters, treating such topics as divisions and reconciliation within the community, the importance of the body, and the role of affliction.
		The commentary seeks to understand 1 Corinthians in its context, that is, in terms of the community life of the Corinthian Christians, and emphasizes the way in which Paul encouraged the faith community in its life and mission.
		In his response to the Corinthian Christians' claim to be endowed with exceptional spiritual gifts, Paul develops his theology of the body and resurrection, love, prophecy, the kingdom, and the role of men and women in the church.

		His judgment on the case was uncompromising and the severest possible--that, in solemn assembly, in the name and with the power of the Lord Jesus, the church should deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh.
		No doubt it comes strangely after an appeal to the Corinthians to show the apostle the same frankness and kindness that he is showing them; whereas II Corinthians 7:2 follows naturally and links itself closely to such an appeal.
		The first seven chapters in II Corinthians as a whole are taken up with a retrospect of the events that have recently transpired, joyful references to the fact that the clouds of grief in connection with them have been dispelled, and that the evangelical ministry as a Divine trust and power is clearly manifested.

	The Apostolic Fathers by J.B. Lightfoot: Part I, Vol. 2: The So-Called Second Epistle of S. Clement to the Corinthians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The First Epistle is described as 'The Catholic Epistle of Clement the disciple of Pter the Apostle to the Church of the Corinthians'; where not only is the epistle not numbered, but a distinguishing epithet is prefixed.
		The fact that these Corinthians took for public reading not only the Epistle of Clement, which might be thought to have acquired a peculiar sanctity by its venerable age, but also the much later letter of the Romans under bishop Soter, shows the practice of this church in reference to uncanonical documents.
		Over the first column of the Second Epistle (where the title should be, if there were any) the top of the leaf is cut obliquely so that the space left between the top of the leaf and the text varies from 7/8 to 3/4 of an inch.

		The occasion of this epistle was partly to excuse his not coming to them according to promise, and to vindicate himself from the charge of unfaithfulness, levity, and inconstancy on that account.
		The Corinthians who have stood firm are understood as being the ones who (a) took Paul's prior chastisement seriously, (b) corrected their internal disputes, and (c) are now back with the divine program.
		Paul was confident that, when the Corinthians read this, they would understand that by coming to them in their rebellious state he would have experienced only sorrow at the hands of those who knew, all of them, in their heart of hearts that they ought to be making him happy and sharing in his happiness.

	New Testament Books
		The study of the different epistles shows that each has been written with a special purpose, so that God, in His wisdom and goodness, has made full provision for the establishment of the believer in the truth, as well as for his guidance in all circumstances, and in every age.
		There are, however, Epistles, as for instance the First Epistle to Timothy that is mainly instructive, inasmuch as it presents the Church in its divine order according to the mind of God.
		We may thus conclude that the Epistles were probably the latest writings of the New Testament, and that, when the apostle wrote, the ruin of the Church in responsibility had already commenced.

	Epistle to the Corinthians
		The two Epistles to the Corinthians in the New Testament were written by Saint Paul from Ephesus, probably in AD 57, to the church he founded at Corinth, a cosmopolitan commercial city in central Greece.
		The epistle may be divided into four parts: (1.) The apostle deals with the subject of the lamentable divisions and party strifes that had arisen among them (1 Cor.
		The contents of this epistle may be thus arranged:- (1.) Paul speaks of his spiritual labours and course of life, and expresses his warm affection toward the Corinthians (2 Cor.

	JFB Commentary on 2nd Corinthians - Introduction
		Ancient tradition, too (as appears from the subscription to this Epistle), favors the view that Philippi was the place from which this Epistle was sent by the hands of Titus who received, besides, a charge to prosecute at Corinth the collection which he had begun at his first visit (2Co 8:6).
		The STYLE is most varied, and passes rapidly from one phase of feeling to another; now joyous and consolatory, again severe and full of reproof; at one time gentle and affectionate, at another, sternly rebuking opponents and upholding his dignity as an apostle.
		The widely different tone in different parts of the Epistle is due to the diversity which existed at Corinth between the penitent majority and the refractory minority.

		Thus, he defends the integrity of the canonical 2 Corinthians, but concedes that an interval may have occurred between the writing of chapters 1–9 and chapters 10–13, during which news reached Paul of further challenges to his authority at Corinth.
		They claimed to be Christian, illegitimately invoked the authority of the Twelve, and found common cause with a group of Corinthian “proto-Gnostics” in their attempt to undermine Paul and his apostolic work.

	Bible commentary on 2 Corinthians::Hamilton Smith
		In writing his second epistle to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul links with himself Timothy, who was well-known to them as having laboured in their midst; and in addressing the assembly the apostle includes the saints in Achaia, of which Corinth was the capital.
		In this second epistle, Christ is presented first, in this verse, as the Yea and Amen, and secondly, in chapter four, as glorified, in order to lead these saints into all the fulness of Christian blessing as set forth in Him, so that occupied with Him in glory they might become changed into His image.
		But in passing before the Corinthian assembly a review of the life he lived, he was opening his heart to them with great fulness, and the fact that he did so was a proof of his love to them.

	Introduction to II Corinthians
		Background and Date: In several ways, II Corinthians reflects Paul's relations with the church of Corinth during the period after its foundation in 55-56 A.D. The several episodes that took place during this interchange between Paul and the Corinthians can be summed up as follows:
		Characteristics: II Corinthians is the most autobiographical of Paul's letters; it contains numerous references to the difficulties he confronted in the course of his ministry (see 11:23-33).
		This message finds it most famous expression in II Corinthians 5:17, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new".

		His final concern for the Corinthians is not so much their comfort in suffering, although that is important to him, but their salvation through it, although their comfort and encouragement play an important part within that.
		In 1 Corinthians, while he had had to rebuke, it had been in expectation of things being put right without too much difficulty, so that he had not anticipated that it would put a barrier in the way of his visiting them for a goodly period.
		There is a hint here that those who are demonstrating in the Corinthian church that their minds and hearts are still veiled should recognise that they are still unbelievers and are therefore perishing because they have failed to see the true Good News of the glory of Christ.

		It is widely agreed that the Apostle Paul wrote the second letter to the Corinthians, and not many would argue.
		Examples given could include the possibility that the Apostle had a sleepless night between composing 1-9 and composing 10-13; or that he had previously been "holding in" his true feelings on the subjects addressed, and was now being more open.
		Nevertheless, it remains that the Apostle Paul is seen as the author of 2 Corinthians.

		He argues quite well for 2 Corinthians' unity and covers the theology of 2 Corinthians as only Victor Paul Furnish had ever done previously (with the exception of the NTT series by Cambridge).
		Harris mixes in theology with grammar, and thus allows the reader to think that theology and grammar are determined at the same time when grammar should come first and theology second.
