Moses in Corinth: The Apologetic Context of 2 Corinthians 3

Moses in Corinth: The Apologetic Context of 2 Corinthians 3 (Novum Testamentum, Supplements, Book 159) by Paul B. Duff
English | 2015 | ISBN: 9004288430 | 238 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

Scholars have long puzzled over the imagery focused on Moses in 2 Corinthians 3; it is unclear how that imagery fits into the larger context of the letter. Many have explained the imagery as the apostle’s reaction to the “super-apostles,” Jewish missionaries mentioned later in the letter. These preachers, it has been argued, promoted either a θεῖος ἀνήρ or a Judaizing agenda. In Moses in Corinth, Paul B. Duff contends that the Moses imagery has nothing to do with the super-apostles but functions instead as an integral part of Paul’s first apologia sent to Corinth. This apologia, found in 2 Cor 2:14-7:4, represents an independent letter sent to dispel suspicions about the apostle’s honesty, integrity, and poor physical appearance.
