The reputation of the NIGTC series is so outstanding that the
appearance of each new volume is noteworthy. This book on 2
Corinthians is no exception. Master New Testament exegete Murray J.
Harris has produced a superb commentary that analyzes the Greek
text verse by verse against the backdrop of Paul's tumultuous
relations with his converts at Corinth.
Believing that Scripture cannot be understood theologically
unless it has first been understood grammatically, Harris provides
a careful, thoroughgoing reading of the text of 2 Corinthians. He
gives special attention to matters of translation, making regular
references not only to the standard modern English translations but
also to influential older versions such as "The Twentieth Century
New Testament" and those by Weymouth, Moffatt, and Goodspeed. His
close attention to matters of textual criticism and grammar leads
to discussions of the theology of 2 Corinthians that show the
relevance of Paul's teaching to Christian living and church
ministry.
Other notable features of the book include a comprehensive
introduction in which all the relevant literary and historical
issues are discussed, an expanded paraphrase of the letter that
conveniently shows Harris's decisions on exegetical issues and
indicates the flow of Paul's argument, a chronology of the
relations of Paul, Timothy, and Titus with the Corinthian church,
and an excursus on Paul's "affliction in Asia" (1:8-11) and its
influence on his outlook and theology.
