English summary: The Second Letter to the Corinthians brings us closest to Paul, the human and Christian. Outrageous accusations and suspicions in the church question his calling to be an apostle and his message about Christ. He passionately defends the position he holds. Still, the letter creates difficult historical and literary questions. Is this only one letter? How can we explain the obvious jumps between different themes, the stylistic breaks, the confusing organization of the text? Christian Wolff addresses these content problems methodically and finds: The letter generally forms a textual unity. Starting from this premise, Wolff outlines the main points of Paul’s theology. German description: Der zweite Korintherbrief bringt uns Paulus als Mensch und Christ am nachsten. Ungeheuerliche Vorwurfe und Verdachtigungen in der Gemeinde tasten seine Berufung zum Apostel und seine Botschaft von Christus an. Er aber verteidigt leidenschaftlich die Sache, fur die er steht. Trotzdem wirft der Brief schwer losbare historische und literarische Fragen auf. Ist das uberhaupt ein Brief? Wie erklaren sich die auffalligen thematischen Sprunge, die stilistischen Bruche, die schwer zu durchschauende Ordnung? Christian Wolff setzt sich methodisch und inhaltlich mit dieser Problematik auseinander und kommt zu dem Ergebnis: Der Brief bilde weitgehend eine textliche Einheit. Auf dieser Grundlage zeichnet Wolff die Grundzuge Paulinischer Theologie nach.
