V. George Shillington (Mennonite Brethren Church) sees this epistle as Paul’s personal testimony about his ministry of reconciliation among the Corinthian Christians and his ministry in defending the truth of the gospel. The thread that ties the two parts together is Paul’s conviction on pastoral ministry under the banner of Christ. Paul insists that ministry is to be borne in affliction like that of Christ crucified. The only boast allowed is in the Lord, not in one’s own achievements.

"Shillington demonstrates a gift for imaginative exposition of the Bible. He is able to stimulate people to think about the text without telling them what they must find."—Canadian Mennonite
