Der zweite Korintherbrief

The essays are dealing with central topics concerning the Corinthian correspondence with special reference to 2 Corinthians. Some of the studies present a fresh look on the much disputed Pauline pneuma/gramma-antithesis resp. Paul''s understanding of the "old" and "new" covenant. Other essays examine e.g. the unity of 2 Corinthians, the structure of arguments in ch. 10–13, the background and purpose of the mission against Paul, the history and theological foundation of the collection for Jerusalem, the Wirkungsgeschichte of 2 Corinthians in the New Testament writings, or shed new light on the interpretation of relevant passages within the context of 2 Corinthians.
