An End to Enmity

This book casts light upon the shadowy figure of the wrongdoer in Second Corinthians, disclosing the type of offence that was committed and the relationship of the wrongdoer to Paul and to the Corinthians. Drawing upon the social and rhetorical conventions that governed friendship, enmity and reconciliation in the Greco-Roman world, the book offers an hypothesis regarding the identity of the wrongdoer and reconstructs the history of Paul s relationship with an influential convert to Christianity at Corinth.
