Background of 2 Corinthians

The city of Corinth had a population of about 250,000—huge by first century standards. Corinth overlooked the narrow isthmus that connected the Greek mainland with Peloponnesus and received ships in its two harbors. At one time Corinth was home to at least 12 pagan temples.

The Corinthians were intrigued by Greek philosophy and captivated by the disciplined training and athletic events held on the isthmus. Paul established the church in Corinth during his second missionary journey. He wrote this letter from Ephesus around 55 A.D. to a church that desperately needed help and correction.
