Yet this imagery also surrounds him during his later years, especially during his exile from Jerusalem.”
Polaski, Sandra Hack, "2 Corinthians 12:1-10: Paul's Trauma," Review & Expositor, 2008.

Abstract: “Trauma theory offers us a different way of looking at 2 Cor 12:1-10, the passage that discusses Paul's "thorn in the flesh." Rather than seeing the nature of the "thorn" as a riddle to be solved, we can look at the way Paul talks about his pain and his ability to come to terms with it as evidence of trauma and its resolution.”
Heider, George C., "Living by the Word: Mark 6:1-13," The Christian Century, 2009.

“New Testament scholars inform us that the problem here is one of culture: in an honor/shame society, it was an act of sheer arrogance for someone of Jesus' lowly origins to speak out publicly.”
