Pastor’s Bookshelf: 2 Corinthians

posted by Scot McKnight

Ah, Second Corinthians. One of the most formative classes I had in seminary was Murray Harris’ class on 2 Corinthians, and I’ve paid attention to the commentaries ever since.

I begin with C.K. Barrett because I learned so much from him in our class: The Second Epistle to Corinthians
.

Then I go to my teacher’s, Murray Harris’, newest and full-length commentary: Second Epistle To The Corinthians (New International Greek Testament Commentary)
.

Following Harris, I move along the shelf to Victor Furnish’s fine commentary in The Anchor Bible: II Corinthians
.

Then to Ralph Martin’s Word commentary: 2 Corinthians: Revised (Word Biblical Commentary)
.

Finally, I now finish off with Margaret Thrall’s ICC volume: 2 Corinthians
.

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

I think Furnish’s (say that outloud 5 times fast) is often overlooked. Garland’s is one of the better NAC volumes.

Scot,
In addition to a few that you have already mentioned, I would add David Garland’s 2 Corinthians commentary (New American Commentary) and Ben Witherington’s CONFLICT AND COMMUNITY IN CORINTH.

Also, Frank Matera’s volume in the New Testament Library series, which is quite good.

I would echo danny and Jim and mention Garland’s volume in NAC.
