The Truth Of God's Word: Learn About The History Of The Bible: New Testament Book

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, commonly referred to as Second Corinthians or in writing 2 Corinthians, is a Pauline epistle of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle and a co-author named Timothy and is addressed to the church in Corinth and Christians in the surrounding province of Achaea, in modern-day Greece.

This book takes us to the heart of Christian discipleship. It forces us to think hard about what it means to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23). No other of Paul's letters paint a fuller picture of this core Christian task because no other group of believers in the New Testament was so determined to mold Christianity in their image. If you want to know what following Jesus entails at the deepest possible level, then 2 Corinthians is for you.
