Summary:The paper shares the results of a structural and contextual analysis of 2 Cor 11:30- 12:10. Paul's mystic experiences in the passage should be interpreted within the context of first-century apocalypticism. Since apocalypticism was a revolutionary phenomenon, reports of mystic experiences provide us with a key to understanding the political hermeneutic of early Christianity.
