2 Corinthians Leader Guide

What's special about 2 Corinthians?

In 2 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul seeks to rebuild his relationship with the Corinthians, to defend his own integrity as a trustworthy and competent servant of Christ, and to counter the influence of other apostles on the Corinthians and their claims to be superior to him as apostles.

When you download this Bible study leader guide from Enter the Bible, you'll receive insights on key passages as well as discussion questions to lead a four-week study.

This leader guide is informed by the scholarship of Dr. Lois E. Malcolm, Professor and Olin and Amanda Fjelstad Reigstad Chair for Systematic Theology at Luther Seminary, and Dr. Mary Hinkle Shore, former Professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary and owner of Aging Life Care Partners.

What’s Inside

This guide introduces you to 2 Corinthians and can be adapted to suit your group's needs. With the resources below, you'll have the info and inspiration to lead with confidence.

Find commentaries on distinctive passages in 2 Corinthians, including discussions on affliction and consolation (2 Cor 1), treasure in clay jars (2 Cor 4), and building up one another (2 Cor 12-13), along with other passages. Reflection questions for each week provide prompts to lead a robust discussion on these passages.

Consider opening and closing each study session with prayer. It's a chance to give thanks for those present, to lift up particular prayer requests, to grow deeper in faith and community, and to seek God's help in understanding and living out the message found in God's Word.
