The resonances in the dialogue of Paul''s Second Letter to the Corinthians are difficult to detect unless the reader has some knowledge of the social, religious, and economic situation of the community to which the apostle was writing. 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.
