This book seems to embody at least two of Paul's letters, of these letters they were taken and edited. You could trace Paul's relationship with his community with these books. After he wrote 1 corinthians, he visited corinth again and faced public humiliation. afterwards christian apostles arrived in town advocating a view that paul opposed. Paul was angry and responded with a letter that could be found in chapters 10-13, sent through a personal messenger, Titus. The letter had an affect on the community and wrote a conciliatory letter in response found in chapters 1-9. Some of the apocalyptic themes of 1 corinthians can be found in 2 corinthians.
