The Greek of 2 Corinthians is some of the most complex of any New Testament text, displaying Paul's full range of rhetorical strategies. Long's analysis of the soaring rhetoric locates Paul's letter within the first-century Mediterranean world, employing grammar and syntax to provide a window into that time. This handbook is a must-have for students wishing to master Greek in the context of New Testament studies.
