Synopsis

An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C. Ortlund Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.  In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Ortlund expounds two predominant themes―inaugurated eschatology and strength through weakness―and connects various other motifs traced throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ’s resurrection ushered in the new realm―one where life and ministry are flipped upside down, and God’s power is intertwined with human weakness.

This could be the best book I've read this year. (And that's saying a lot as I read Left Behind earlier this year). My man Dane Ortlund nails it again with this one. He writes in such a pleasant way and I was thoroughly enjoying this the whole way through. He treats the text well and thoughtfully. "J......more

Goodreads review by Randy on November 12, 2023

This is a profound and impactful book (not a commentary per se) on the New Testament letter 2 Corinthians. Ortlund does a great job unwinding Paul ‘s themes here, primary the Christian concept of strength through weakness, a completely counterculture message to say the least! His other major point i......more

Goodreads review by Connor on October 23, 2023

This is a concise and helpful summary of the major themes running through Ortlund’s commentary on 2 Corinthians in the ESVEC series, which I have greatly profited from. I enjoyed this book less than I thought I would given my previous exposure to his commentary.......more

Very good. Ortlund articulated well the themes of 2 Corinthians and was very edifying in doing so. This has already proved to be very helpful in my study of this book.......more
