Brill Academic Publishers, 2015. — 745 p. — (Supplements to Novum Testamentum 161). In 2 Cor. 10–13, as in the entire Pauline corpus, the use of the first person plural is surprising.

Bloomsbury Academic, 2003. — 304 p. — (Library of New Testament Studies) Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians boasts a preponderance of fictive kinship terms (e.g. father, children, nursing mother, brother etc).

Brill Academic Publishers, 2015. — 238 p. — (Supplements to Novum Testamentum 159 ) Scholars have long puzzled over the imagery focused on Moses in 2 Corinthians 3; it is unclear how that imagery fits into the larger context of the letter.

Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2004. — 271 p. Another spelling of the author's name: Chŏng-hun K.

Mohr Siebeck, 2022. — 342 p. Das vorliegende Werk unterscheidet sich von der Fülle der exegetischen Kommentare dadurch, dass es eine systematisch orientierte Interpretation versucht.

Cambridge University Press, 2002. — 334 p. — (Library of New Testament Studies 400) Throughout history, the human belly has been regarded as both a source of shame and pride.
