In this lucid and clear survey, Father Murphy-O'Connor attempts to provide such background information, which he integrates skillfully into a flowing exposition of Paul's thought. St. Paul's theology thus comes to life as the complex interplay of factors that prompted him to write as he did to the Corinthians are examined and explored. In addition to providing a particularly accessible picture of the distinctive theological contribution made by 2 Corinthians, the author's book prompts new insights into the relation of Christ to the ministry of the Church.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Murphy-O'Connor Jerome</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Corinthians, 2nd -- Theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">227.306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J56-M98</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0521358981</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070400.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
