The Blessing and the Curse
from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School
When Paul talks about comfort in 2 Corinthians, it is easy to receive his words as much needed nurturing, as though we have suffered unjustly and are in need of God's intervention. But what if God has already intervened? What if the difficulties in our life are not unjust? What if the suffering of which we complain is not evil? What if the blessings and the curses in our life come from the same source? Richard and Fr. Marc begin their discussion of 2 Corinthians.
