About this Event
How can a church overcome deep divisions? How can you face persecution and become more resilient? How do Christian leaders 'lead' in the face of opposition from within their own congregations?
These difficult questions were present for the church in Corinth, and they're still with us today!
In this first-ever livestreamed course with Prof. N.T. Wright, you will plumb the depths of 2nd Corinthians and discover how the power of Jesus' resurrection gave hope to the early Church and empowers us for the difficulties we face today.
'2nd Corinthians: Live with Prof. N.T. Wright' is hosted by N.T. Wright Online. It is co-sponsored by Truett Seminary and Fresh Expressions US.
