Second Letter to the Corinthians

In Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, after he left Ephesus for Macedonia around 57 AD, he again refers to himself as an apostle of Christ and reassures the people of Corinth that he will not make another painful visit to them, reassuring them of the love he has for them. Paul felt the situation in Corinth was still complicated and felt attacked. Some had challenged his authority and Paul writes to defend himself.
