Overview
​
Paul's second letter to the Corinthians explores the meaning of the cross in terms of personal suffering--his own, and that of all the Messiah's people. If in Galatians he is angry, if in Philippians he is joyful, in this letter his deep sorrow and the raw wounds of his own recent suffering are very apparent. Yet he is determined to view all of his suffering and all of the troubles of the world through the lens of the gospel. This study by N.T. Wright on this powerful epistle points us toward the strange comfort to be found in the suffering, death and resurrection-life of Jesus, the Lord of the world.
​
This study is designed to help us understand Scripture in fresh ways under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background and cultural information all guide us more deeply into God's word. 
Course Goals
​
The goal of this course is to dive deeply into God’s Word through Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, while we examine its relevance for our times. In so doing, our hope is to equip us all to “better live out the lordship of Christ in today’s cosmopolitan [and increasingly secular] world” and to thus discover how we can participate more fully in God’s Kingdom.
