This book represents a fresh approach to the study of 2
Corinthians. In the first chapter of the epistle, Paul recounts how
he had been faced suddenly with the prospect of imminent death.
Either he had succumbed to a severe illness or was suffering the
effects of savage persecution. In either case Dr. Harvey believes
that some of the profound but difficult language in the central
chapters may best be explained by reference to this traumatic
event. He begins by exploring the social, economic and religious
consequences of illness or disability in antiquity and the
radically new understanding of suffering to which Paul was led by
his near-death experience. The remainder of the book takes the form
of a running commentary, bringing out the implications of this
biographical approach for understanding the text of 2 Corinthians.
Despite addressing detailed questions of a technical nature, this
study is presented in a clear and readable form and will prove
illuminating for all those - scholars, students, or more general
readers - interested in St. Paul and 2 Corinthians.
