Nothing speaks more highly for a commentary than how valuable it is to pastors and scholars, students, and interested readers. By all accounts, Victor Paul Furnish's commentary on II Corinthians has become the standard by which others are judged. It is praised as a quite superb commentary everything that a good commentary should be (Expository Times) by any standard an excellent volume (Interpretation) and perhaps the definitive commentary on the letter in English (Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society). In addition Furnish has accomplished a difficult task with remarkable skill and apparent ease (Biblical Theology Bulletin) and has given us one of [the Anchor Bible's] finest studies (Catholic Biblical Quarterly). In the internationally renowned tradition of the Anchor Bible series this commentary is an excellent and indispensable tool for biblical study.
