I want to express my thanks to Inter-Varsity Press and to Professor Eckhard Schnabel, the Series Editor of the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, for their invitation to upgrade my commentary on 2 Corinthians, first published in 1987. This provides an opportunity to thoroughly revise, expand and update it in the light of more recent studies, and so enhance its value for present-day readers. The new commentary is based on the latest edition of the widely used New International Version (2011). It is my hope and prayer that this new edition will also assist readers to understand better Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians so as to appreciate the incredible grace of the God whom he served.
