—2 Corinthians—
In this letter, we enter into the life of the apostle Paul through his stories: he relates his own near-death experience and hardships, his own version of the story of Moses and the glory of Sinai, and of the generosity of the church at Macedonia. But while Paul's stories are important to his message, he intended them to move the focus off of himself and on to God and His story.

Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
