2nd Letter To The Corinthians
Original price was: $50.00.$25.00Current price is: $25.00.Read moreNewest volume in the acclaimed Pillar New Testament Commentary series
The question that Paul sets before the ancient church in Corinth – Do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in and among you? (2 Cor 13:5) – remains a critical question for the church today. This commentary by Mark Seifrid seeks to hear Paul’s message afresh and communicate it to our time.
Seifrid offers a unified reading of 2 Corinthians, which has often been regarded as a composite of excerpts and fragments. He argues that Paul’s message is directed at the practical atheism of the Corinthian church – the hidden heresy that assumes God’s saving work in the world may be measured by outward standards of success and achievement.
Like all of the Pillar volumes, Seifrid’s commentary on 2 Corinthians offers careful grammatical analysis and exegesis with clear pastoral application.

Pauls Letter To The Romans
Original price was: $58.99.$29.99Current price is: $29.99.Add to cartIn keeping with the aims of the Pillar series, Colin Kruse in this commentary explains Romans to serious pastors, teachers, and students of the Bible.

This commentary shows how Paul expounds and defends the gospel against the background of God’s sovereign action as creator, judge, and redeemer of the world. In the process, Kruse elucidates Paul’s teaching about matters of concern in the Roman house churches — issues that remain important today. Kruse’s clarity and economy in dealing with such complex and important matters, along with the other features mentioned above, promise to make this commentary an enduring standard for years to come.
