The first edition of this commentary paid tribute to a founding editor, Glenn Wesley Barker (19201984). Now it is in a similar way that this revised version is dedicated to another member of the editorial team.
IN MEMORIAM
Bruce Manning Metzger
(19142007)
Professor Metzger served as General Editor for only a few years, but left his unique stamp on the series. His work as textual scholar, translator, and teacher is valued by all who knew him, joined to his Christian character and unassuming modesty.
PUBLISHERS NOTE
This second edition of 2 Corinthians was completed by Ralph Martin shortly before his death in 2013. It is only in-house production time that resulted in the commentary being published posthumously. Zondervan Academic deeply appreciates the role that Dr. Martin has played in the Word Biblical Commentary series.
