A systematic devotional commentary working through 2 Corinthians passage by passage.

Throughout this passionate letter, despite the believers' failings, their lack of commitment and their criticism of his ministry, Paul's love and concern for them shine through.

'But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.'

Paul's second letter to the young church at Corinth is forged in the heat of difficult circumstances. False teachers were challenging the apostle's authority and he also had to present a defence of the practice of church discipline for those who had in some way strayed.

The People's Bible Commentary is planned to cover the whole Bible, with a daily readings approach that brings together both personal devotion and reflective study.
