Why This Resource Matters

The closing chapters of 2 Corinthians contain some of Paul's most passionate and personal writing. In chapters 8-9, he presents the most comprehensive biblical teaching on Christian generosity. In chapters 10-13, we witness Paul's emotional defense of his apostleship against false teachers, culminating in the beloved passage on God's sufficient grace and strength made perfect in weakness. In an age of gospel distortions and attacks on biblical authority, this resource provides clear, biblical teaching grounded in careful exegesis and faithful exposition.
