God's Comfort Amidst Suffering

The apostle Paul experienced a great deal of suffering, both at the hands of unbelievers and fellow Christians. Paul writes 2 Corinthians in response to a painful visit he had with the church in Corinth where he was severely and personally attacked by the church he planted and ministered to. Thus, 2 Corinthians is a book about suffering, and how God comforts believers in the midst of that suffering.
