Su questo libro

Recensione

"This book is a masterful treatment of Paul's defense of his ministry in 2 Corinthians, a ministry that, ironically, though 'weak' in the eyes of the Corinthians, demonstrated the power of God." Roy Zuck, Bibliotheca Sacra

"This is a sensible book that seeks to explain the paradoxical language of the apostle Paul regarding the nature and character of his ministry in canonical 2 Corinthians....the exegetical portions of this volume make it worthy not only of reading but of study." Thomas Gillespie, Journal of Biblical Literature

"This is a book that will benefit scholar and minister alike." Eugene Hensell O.S.B., The Catholic Biblical Quarterly

Descrizione del libro

Dr Savage explains Paul's paradoxical description of his ministry: 'When I am weak, then I am strong!' Drawing from archaeological data on first-century Corinth, this study establishes the secular underpinnings of Paul's language and his critique of society. He emerges as a radical foil to the spirit of the age.
