Letter of Paul to the Corinthians, 2
Book Written: Between 54 A.D. and 56 A.D. per HC, but in 57 A.D. per Baker
Time Period/Setting: Written from Macedonia to the same Corinthian community of his first letter. 2 Corinthians is considered to be more disjoint and fragmentary and HC discusses four theories concerning its make-up.
Title: self-explanatory
Just to keep the un-chronology going, HC says that this second letter is actually Paul's fourth letter to his fellow Christians in Corinth.
In this letter, Paul defends himself against a nay-sayer, apparently a particular though un-named individual, who has besmirched Paul's legitimacy as an apostle.
