This book on 2 Corinthians is no exception. Believing that Scripture cannot be understood theologically unless it has first been understood grammatically, Harris provides a careful, thoroughgoing reading of the text of 2 Corinthians. He gives special attention to matters of translation, making regular references not only to the standard modern English translations but also to influential older versions such as The Twentieth Century New Testament and those by Weymouth, Moffatt, and Goodspeed. The reputation of the NIGTC series is so outstanding that the appearance of each new volume is noteworthy. Master New Testament exegete Murray J. Other notable features of the book include a comprehensive introduction in which all the relevant literary and historical issues are discussed, an expanded paraphrase of the letter that conveniently shows Harris's decisions on exegetical issues and indicates the flow of Paul's argument, a chronology of the relations of Paul, Timothy, and Titus with the Corinthian church, and an excursus on Paul's "affliction in Asia" (1:8-11) and its influence on his outlook and theology.. Harris has produced a superb commentary that analyzes the Greek text verse by verse against the backdrop of Paul's tumultuous relations with his converts at Corinth. His close attention to matters of textual criticism and grammar leads to discussions of the theology of 2 Corinthians that show the relevance of Paul's teaching to Christian livin
"The Most Reliable Study of 2 Corinthians Available Today!" according to Dr. Marc Axelrod. Murray Harris has already proven himself to be a capable interpreter of this book with his EBC contribution back in 1976. But this book is a much more extensive and helpful study. He has a tremendous command of the Greek Text, and he defends the unitary character of the letter. Others have suggested that this was a hard to read commentary. Indeed, it is an academic work, steeped toward the pastor-scholar.But it yields rich rewards for those who are willing to work their way through it. If you are preaching through 2 Corinthians and you need an exegetical c. "THE EVALUATION OF THIS COMMENTARY" according to BALAN VIAN. ON MY POINT OF VIEW , THIS COMM. IS BEST ON WHICH I READ (OTHERS WBC-REVELATION, NIGTC,NICNT-1 CORINTHIANS, AB-THE GOSPEL OF LUKE)ABOUT THE INTRODUCTION: IS VERY GOOD, BUT NOT EXIST TOPICS - THE CRITICAL TEXT, RESUME OF GRAMMAR STYLE OF PAUL;TRANSLATION IS DYNAMIC, IS ORIGINAL , MUST MAYBE MUCH FREE, LIKE PARAPHRASES FROM THE FINAL BOOK;ABOUT THE CRITICAL NOTES: ARE OF GOOD QUALITY AND CONTENT ALL VARIANTS FROM NA 27.COMMENTARY ITSELF IS EXHAUSTIVE ( NEXT COMM. IS ICC - MARGARET THRALL), MAYBE TOO MUCHLOADED WITH INFORMATIONS, MUST MAYBE MUCH EXCURSUS.. Solid, but not remarkable Ron C. Fay Murray Harris is a solid exegete and is known for his grammatical acumen. This commentary, however, does not read like the rest of the NIGTC series (with the possible exception of Luke by IH Marshall). The NIGTC series is intentionally written toward a higher level audience, those that still know their Greek and can wade through French and German at least a little.The work as a whole is solid, if unspectacular. Harris holds to many traditional points, and rarely comes up with new arguments for them. That being said, the best feature of this commentary by f
