Book of 2 Corinthians Summary: A Complete Animated Overview

Watch our overview video on 2 Corinthians, which breaks down the literary design of the book and its flow of thought. In 2 Corinthians, Paul resolves his conflict with the Corinthians by showing how the scandal of the crucifixion turns our value systems upside-down.

Had you thought about turning these amazing drawings into posters and selling them on your website. They would be super popular, would be a great visual reminder for an office or bible study area, and would help you fund other projects.

[@John283T]

It both amazes (and saddens) me that even after 2,000 yrs us believers often have these same problems.

[@ianlauthner9018]

I know right. I have seen these problems in churches and even more so in first Corinthian‘s

[@cerebralfaithvideo]

Yep. That's why these epistles are included in scripture. God knew that humans never change. Paul's rebukes and corrections would need to be echoed throughout the ages. So God providentially arranged for these epistles to be included in the canon.

[@mish375]

@@cerebralfaithvideo Exactly. Cliques and favouritism in churches are still issues we struggle with today.

[@karenmallorca7271]

Agree!

It's amazing how little has changed in the modern church!

[@arsenalarsenalCOYG]

And neither has Jesus or His Holy Spirit. He still transforms us, call us to live in community, strive for patience and unity. I am believing for Jesus to do a great work through his Church. That we may become a brighter light to the world; that when they see us, they see Jesus. AMEN!

[@EternalVisionToday]

It seems 2 Corinthians is very relevant to the modern church. Speaking to us through time. Wow. Praise God!

So true

With sooo much TV watching in my formative years, reading the bible has been challenging for me. Then comes the guilt of not reading. This Bible Project is like a trailer for the passages; now I have that much more emotion and anticipation when delving into the pages. I sincerely thank you.

[@Mindsetolympics]

Amennnn

[@peggyf2694]

For new Christians such as myself, I share a fabulous book.. “hermeneutics is for everyone”. By Daniel Goephrich. A fabulous book that teaches in simple fashion, how to study the bible. Its a great way to learn. And then i add great clips like this one. Hugs my sisters and brothers.

[@violetyoung1970]

I cried when I heard that God values humility and weakness because his love and power were made known through the death and resurrection of Jesus. This is so different from the values of the culture I have and am living in, where you have to boost about yourself and consider a lot about mianzi / how people look at you. I am autistic and have always been trying to be on par with the social standard that the people around me are living up to. It is a never ending torture for me, as I can only change my behaviour to conform but never my root. The fact that God values humility and weakness means that I can be ‘stupid’ and ‘rude’ like how they have mocked me and that simply come to God admitting that I am weak and he is strong. This world is wicked and complicated, but through Jesus we can be reconnected with God and can have something to hold on to. I am really grateful for the Bible and for God’s grace.

[@ShowzUp5]

Great summary. I read 2nd corinthians and honestly, it took me so long to finish it that I couldn't grasp some of the main ideas of it. I did get a few memorable nuggets here and there. Thank you for blessing us with this summary clip. YOu brought to light and made clear things that were initially dim to me, such as the idea of ears being turned away from Paul because of his appearance, socioeconomic status, etc. However, these are the things that made him so similar to Jesus. Sometimes expectations create barriers that prevent people from experiencing the gospel of Jesus and who he really is. It happened when Jesus was performing miracles on the Earth and it continues to happen now. Jesus presenting himself in such a humble manner, and Paul as well, takes the exclusivity out of Christianity. He came for the poor and rich, the broken and the confused, the educated and the uneducated. And no matter what your background is...He can use you for his purpose. I love it.

I would like to thank you for all the hard work on making the "kind of hidden" meanings of the Bible available for everyone. I am not a Christian in fact but a Muslim who's a fan of Jesus, and your videos make me realize how the holy bible is so full of great teachings. Moreover, your videos never fail to show the hope that's in the scriptures, and that's something the world has always needed and will always need. Again thanks a lot. This really helps me while I'm going through the books that make this great holy Book. Kamal

I have to admit I was not feeling 2 Corinthians too much at all. So just before I finished the Book, I thought best to take a pause and see what it was really all about because I was obviously missing the point. So glad I did and definitely glad I did so through your channel. I am now going to re-read it with new eyes. Thanks guys!

[@binkyfaith]

So thankful for this analysis as I am a beginner and on my spiritual journey 🙏🏿

[@clayandjanice]

So-oo much to ponder and meditate on in 2 Corinthians. That is, when you actually read Scripture, not as much when you watch "Read Scripture." Mackie & Co. are expert about painting the broad strokes. But the true delight in this letter is the in-between details, none of which are mentioned in this vid. Mackie focuses on Paul's plight regarding the Corinthians trying to discredit him because he wasn't rich or fancy. But that's only a sliver of the whole story. More themes left out: we become a new creation when we're saved (chpt 5), God dwells among us when we're pure (chpt 6/7), finding repentance through godly vs. worldly sorrow (chpt. 7), destroying strongholds (chpt. 10), being a cheerful giver (chpt. 9), how to know if you're really saved? (chpt. 13). So much incredible content, all covered right here. ALSO, did you know Paul's spirit was catapulted up to heaven and back (chpt 12, cf. Acts 9). No other NT letter talks about that. And guess what he discovered there...? Please use Bible Project vids to supplement (not supplant) your Bible studies/quiet times. God bless!

It’s sad to me how many comment there are about how “the church has never changed”. The church is Gods chosen instrument to bring light into peoples hearts, and is the bride of Christ! If we don’t believe in the church and how beautiful she is, it’s no wonder we’ve never seen a change. Let’s try being encouraging rather than being self righteous

I cried as i watched this! No kidding! The moment you said "Christ made Himself poor for us to be rich" i think the Spirit touched me thr!

The cross really changes everything!!
