Summary: Helpful informative commentary
Comment: This commentary series is touted as a light series, but I have found that Hafemann's book gets you down deep into the world of Paul.
I have used his book when preaching on chapters 8 and 9 and have found his comments to be stimulating and provocative. I have also appreciated what Craig Blomberg says on these chapters in his "Neither Poverty nor Riches," also available from Amazon.
And he is also insightful on one of my favourite bible passages, chapter 4. I can't get enough of the concept that when God's Spirit illuminates us, it is like the original blaze of light when God said LET THERE BE LIGHT in Genesis chapter 1.
And the thought that we have been given the right to see God's glory shining in Christ's face.
Highly recommended.

Summary: Outstanding for NIVAC
Comment: Hafemann's commentary is probably the best in the whole NIVAC series. His exegesis, while not detailed, is solid and insightful. This commentary has some really excellent theology, and some fine application as well. Given the stated aim of this series, Hafemman's commentary is first rate. Of course, it is not as detailed as Furnish, Barnett or Garland, but it does capture the flow and thrust of the letter better than most. I was impressed by its numerous insights. As for those who are worried about his theology of justification, I really can't see the problem with insisting that we are justified by faith alone, but that faith always includes works (including repentence!) within itself. No magisterial Reformer ever denied the necessity of works as a part of faith, they denied that works apart from faith can save. I highly recommend this commentary as filling a real need for the pastor preaching through 2 Corinthians.

Summary: Reader, Beware!
Comment: Those of you who want to purchase a commentary on 2 Corinthians written from an orthodox Protestant perspective should NOT look here. Hafemann (who follows the soteriology of Daniel Fuller and the neo-Reformational gang) teaches that salvation is obtained not only by faith in Christ but by our obedience (an obedience that is empowerd by the Holy Spirit). Instead of teaching that justification is purely forensic and we can add nothing to Christ's perfect sacrifice, Hafemann argues that we must continually do good works (or obey the Law) in order to be justified and granted eternal life at the Last Judgment. Such a view has no place among those who profess to call themselves evangelical orthodox Protestants.
