Bowens provides a detailed historical-critical exegesis and comparative analysis to establish that Paul links his ascent in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 to 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 where he foregrounds a cosmic battle around the mind and the knowledge of God. In 10:3-6, the apostle presents a trilateral framework of cosmology, epistemology, and theological anthropology, which converge in his heavenly journey. Lisa M. Bowens examines a variety of Jewish and Greco-Roman texts and calls attention to the persistence and importance of martial imagery in chapters 10-13 of Second Corinthians, including in Paul's ascent narrative. Moreover, prayers of deliverance from evil forces become more prevalent around the first century, and this work situates Paul's request in 2 Corinthians 12:8 within this genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mohr Siebeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890185715863,"sku":"9783161548604","price":12759.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783161548604.webp?v=1781179040","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-apostle-in-battle-paul-and-spiritual-warfare-in-2-corinthians-12-1-10-9783161548604","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
