2020 Catholic Press Association honorable mention award for gender
issues, inclusion in the church When 2 Corinthians is read as a
whole in the early manuscripts, we hear a distraught and defensive
Paul, struggling to recover the respect of the Corinthians that he
assumed in 1 Corinthians. Scholars have supplied a recent visit
gone awry to explain this, but Wire argues that the Corinthians
have not kept the restrictions Paul laid down in his earlier
letter. It is Paul who has changed. No longer able to demand that
they imitate his weakness as he embodies Jesus' death, he concedes
and even celebrates that they embody Jesus' power and life and
thereby demonstrate the effectiveness of his work among them. With
special attention to the women in Corinth who pray and prophesy,
Wire looks at each part of 2 Corinthians through three feminist
lenses: a broad focus on all bodies within the tensions of the
ecosystem as Paul sees it; a mid-range focus on the social,
political, and economic setting; and a precise focus on his
argument as evidence of an interaction between Paul and the
Corinthians. When Paul ends with "The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the love of God, and the partnership of the Holy Spirit,"
the Corinthians have pressed him to reshape his message from "yes
but" and "no" to "yes," from a tenacity of qualifiers and
subordinations to an overflow of encouragements.
