Publisher: IVP Academic. Released: Nov 24, ISBN: Format: Book. The letter of 2 Corinthians reveals a powerful debate between the apostle Paul and a shadowy group of opponents, along with the local church members who supported them.
Paul records a range of emotional extremes as he defends his doctrine, ministry, and character to this beloved yet troublesome congregation. In his response to the conflict, Paul develops a momentous theological message: God's power is at work in human beings, not in their power but in their weakness.
In this revised Bible Speaks Today volume, Paul Barnett provides an accessible exposition that helps readers engage the message of 2 Corinthians. Working passage by passage through this often challenging epistle, Barnett provides helpful background, draws out key themes, and offers applications for Christians today.
We find rich insights about the work of Christ, the nature of Christian ministry, facing struggles and weakness, generosity, and the life of the church. This revised edition of a classic volume features a new interior design, current NIV Scripture quotations, and light updates throughout.

Supernatural Conversion: How did St. When the "righteousness of God" is revealed, this means that God reveals his covenant faithfulness by keeping his promise to his people, vindicating them as "righteous.
Just as the Reformation misunderstood the language of the "righteousness of God," so it also misunderstood, Wright maintains, the language of justification. In the popular mind, justification is taken to be the answer to the problem of sinners who try to find favor with God by doing good works.
There is a sinful tendency in all of us to try to pull ourselves up by our own moral bootstraps, to seek to find favor with God on the basis of our achievements or efforts.
The doctrine of justification is the only antidote to all such Pelagian or semi-Pelagian views of salvatioan, because it teaches that salvation is an unmerited gift of God's grace in Christ to sinners who receive the gospel promise by faith alone. In Wright's estimation, this popular opinion regarding justification, whatever its merits and he acknowledges that it has some , "does not do justice to the richness and precision of Paul's doctrine, and indeed distorts it at various points" p.
According to Wright, Paul's doctrine of justification did not serve to answer the "timeless" problem of how sinners can find acceptance with God, but to explain how you can tell who belongs to "the community of the true people of God. Justification does not describe how someone gains entrance into the community of God's people but who is a member of the community now and in the future. In Paul's Jewish context, Wright maintains,. Justification in this setting, then, is not a matter of how someone enters the community of the true people of God , but of how you tell who belongs to that community , not least in the period of time before the eschatological event itself, when the matter will become public knowledge.
Because justification has to do with God's recognition of who belongs to the covenant community, it is not so much a matter of "soteriology as about ecclesiology; not so much about salvation as about the church" p. Because justification focuses upon God's declaration regarding membership in the covenant community, Wright interprets Paul's insistence that justification is by faith and not by works, in a manner that is quite similar to Dunn's approach.
The "boasting" of the Judaizers was not a boasting born of self-righteousness, but a kind of misplaced nationalistic pride and exclusivism.
The "works of the law" were those requirements of the law that served to distinguish Jews from Gentiles, and to exclude Gentiles thereby from membership in the covenant community.
However, now that Christ has come to realize the covenant promise of God to Abraham, faith in Christ is the only badge of membership in God's world-wide family, which is composed of Jews and Gentiles alike. Paul's insistence that justification is by faith expresses his conviction that with the coming of Christ God is "now extending his salvation to all, irrespective of race" p. One of the surprising and provocative implications of this understanding of justification, according to Wright, is that it radically undermines the usual polemics between Protestants and Catholics.
Whereas many Protestants have historically argued that justification is a church-dividing doctrine, precisely the opposite is the case: Paul's doctrine of justification demands an inclusive view of membership in the one family of God.
They have turned the doctrine into its opposite. Justification declares that all who believe in Jesus Christ belong at the same table, no matter what their cultural or racial differences" pp. Protestants who insist upon a certain formulation of the doctrine of justification as a precondition to church fellowship, accordingly, are guilty of turning the doctrine on its head.
Rather than serving its proper purpose to join together as members of one family all who believe in Christ faith being the only badge of covenant membership , the doctrine of justification is turned into the teaching of justification "by believing in justification by faith. One feature of the doctrine of justification that receives special emphasis in Wright's understanding is its nature as an eschatological vindication of God's people. When God justifies or acknowledges those who are members of His covenant community, He does so in anticipation of their "final justification" or vindication at the last judgment.
The context of these letters in dealing with justification is not individualistic, though they come down to the individual, for individuals, not ethnic groups, place their faith in Jesus. If the doctrine of election and predestination is to be seen in the context of covenant, then this leads to a nationalistic view of predestination rather than an individualistic view.

When Paul sought to rectify the situation, this led to quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder Paul also writes of a man who caused grief … who did the wrong and the injured party also a male , the latter almost certainly Paul himself ; While present in Corinth at that time, Paul disclosed a change of plans cf.
Doubtless due to his perception of the deterioration in the church as he found it, he felt he had to return to the Corinthians directly, then travel to Macedonia, and come to them again before making his final withdrawal from the Aegean region. The new plan meant that he would see them twice, whereas the original plan provided for only one final visit.

Released: Apr 17, ISBN: Format: Book. Begun in the late s by an international team of New Testament scholars, the NICNT series has become recognized by pastors, students, and scholars alike as a critical yet orthodox commentary marked by solid biblical scholarship within the evangelical Protestant tradition. While based on a thorough study of the Greek text, the commentary introductions and expositions contain a minimum of Greek references.
The NICNT authors evaluate significant textual problems and take into account the most important exegetical literature. More technical aspects — such as grammatical, textual, and historical problems — are dealt with in footnotes, special notes, and appendixes.
The newer NICNT volumes in particular take into account the role of recent rhetorical and sociological inquiry in elucidating the meaning of the text, and they also exhibit concern for the theology and application of the text. As the NICNT series is ever brought up to date, it will continue to find ongoing usefulness as an established guide to the New Testament text.
