Varsy Arsy–Proclaiming the Gospel in Second Corinthians

Varsy Arsy is volume two of Ross’s examination of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians. The Corinthian church had been captured by a false teaching that brought it wealth, success and influence. Oddly, the false, Gnostic spirituality being taught was based on popular, Greek wisdom and had produced worldly success. But Paul saw through the charade and called the Corinthians back to ordinary faithfulness that stood in opposition to the false wisdom of Greek culture issuing from the academy. What the successful Corinthians called wisdom, Paul called foolishness.
