• (ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) The reconstruction of the position of the missionary rivals whose legitimacy Paul attempts to undermine in 2 Corinthians has proven to be a difficult task. Since the time of Ferdinand Christian Baur, scholars have proposed various, often conflicting reconstructions. [...] they say that the spirit manifests itself in apostles by enabling them to perform miraculous deeds ("signs, wonders, and mighty deeds").12 Although the position that Paul's missionary rivals in 2 Corinthians viewed the spirit as a source of visions, revelations, and miraculous deeds that could be called upon to legitimate their ministry is one that is widely held in NT scholarship, there is in fact good reason to doubt it.13 The reason arises from Sumney's own methodology.
