Description
In The Unity of the Corinthian Correspondence, David Hall argues that 1 and 2 Corinthians are closely related. In both letters, Paul faces the same opponents, referring to them in the same disguised, indirect way in both 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians 1-9 before confronting them directly in 2 Corinthians 10-13. Furthermore, many passages in 2 Corinthians echo the teaching of 1 Corinthians, while others refer to the Corinthian reaction to the first letter. Hall therefore maintains that modern attempts to regard 1 and 2 Corinthians as a mosaic of fragments are based on a flawed methodology that fails to appreciate Paul's pastoral teaching. This is volume 251 in the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement series.
Reviews / Votes
Review ~ International Review of Biblical Studies, vol 51, 2004/05 "Hall demonstrates how proponents of 2 Corinthians being a compilation of fragments have often over-stated the evidence at the expense of ignoring issues and circumstances that connect the two letters. On the whole, Hall's book presents sound biblical scholarship, combining thoughtful reflection on a large corpus of critical commentary with insights from the author's experiences teaching the Corinthian letters in a non-Western context..." -Review of Biblical Literature, May 2005 * Review of Biblical Literature * "I consider this book a values addition to my collection of books on 1 and 2 Corinthians, and it contains much food for thought." -Review of Biblical Literature, May 2005 * Review of Biblical Literature *More details
