Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians: Receiving the Stamp of the Cross.

When you care enough to say the difficult things.

In Second Corinthians, Paul's expression of concern for his spirit children reveals the heart of a man whose enthusiasm for ministry is unsurpassed. This is Paul's most personal letter. And it plumbs the depths of the love that God had placed in his heart. He speaks in love, but with firmness.

In "A Call to Ministry," Ivan Blazen unveils a personal portrait of Paul. As you read, you will come to understand the apostle's compassionate, and often broken, heart. Paul's relationship with the Corinthians is sometimes tense. He seeks to bring them into unity for the gospel's sake, but sometimes they react with open hostility. Undaunted, he continues to minister to them, because of what Christ has done for him.

Paul's life bears the stamp of the cross. To Paul this means that everything he does, every day of his life, is influenced by his acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary. Now he will live--and die if need be--in the manner of his Master, doing all for the salvation of souls.

Ivan Blazen, Ph.D., professor of biblical interpretation and theology at Loma Linda University, is a well-loved New Testament scholar and teacher. In A Call to Ministry he brings his avid interest in the application of biblical teaching to everyday life to bear upon Second Corinthians.
