Trouble in Paradise (or Corinth)

This week in the Bible Challenge we take up Second Corinthians.

Relations between Paul and the congregation in Corinth has gone down hill since he wrote First Corinthians.  He had mentioned in First Corinthians coming to visit them and it seems like that didn't happen.

Much of Second Corinthians is dealing with issues of emotion and hurt feelings that are not resolved in the letter.  That makes the arguments hard to follow sometimes.

Pay attention to chapters 10 to 13 these are a defensive by Paul of himself and his work.
