Whether for preparation for Bible teaching or personal study devotional commentaries are very helpful. When at their best these authors not only provide the service of preparing the food but also cooking, arranging and serving it to you. The strength of such commentaries lies in the author’s proximatity to and understanding of the text. If he is a creative wanderer then you learn a lot more about him. However, if he is a textual grinder then you end up learning a lot about the Bible.
Sam Storms has distinquished himself as the later. Storms, himself a pastor, writes with a shepherd’s heart and with a scholar’s pen. He is clear, biblical, and practical.
Thankfully he has just published a two volume set on 2nd Corinthians. In his typical brief (but not doctrinally or practically skimpy) format he arranges 100 daily meditations on the book. This two volume work is entitled A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ.
I have previously recommended Storms’ other works (Psalms, Colossians & Revelation) in this same style as they have been greatly beneficial to me. So if you are planning to study or teach through 2 Corinthians this resource would no doubt bless you in your quest to see and savor Christ.
