Background of 2 Corinthians
The city
of Corinth had a population of about 250,000huge 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.
