This is an excellent volume on 2 Corinthians by Ben Witherington III. It is part of the Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series.. This series in particular has a charismatic or spirit-filled tradition focus. I am curious how this compares with his previous work on 1-2 Corinthians Conflict and Community in Corinth, which was written with a socio-rhetorical focus and almost thirty years ago. I plan to go back and read that volume to answer that question. This new volume is slimmer but only covers 2 Corinthians but could definitely have gone deeper. In general, I find the author’s books, studies and commentaries to provide significant background information, which I really appreciate and that was present in this volume although it isn’t my favorite on 2 Corinthians.
