Peter wrote that there are some things in Paul's letters that are hard to understand and readers of 2 Corinthians will agree. This small but useful Bible study should help to explain some of those hard things, by focusing on what is delightful and inspiring about the book. We find promises of glorious life after death, interesting and thought-provoking figures of speech describing followers of Christ, and much more. By the end of this study, it should be easy to see why the people at Corinth so loved and revered Paul that they saved this letter and others for future generations of believers.

Sir William M. Ramsay is acknowledged as the outstanding authority on the life of Paul and the history of the early church. Wilbur M. Smith spoke of him as ""the greatest living authority on the historical, geographical and archaeological aspects of the life of the Apostle Paul.""
Ramsay for the greater part of his life was professor of humanity at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. He carried on extensive research in Asiatic Turkey and the ancient Bible lands. Among the many books presenting the results of his study are St. Paul the Traveler and the Roman Citizen and The Cities of St. Paul.
