| Abstract | "An argument in support of the traditional interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15, which defines resurrection in terms of revivification and transformation of physical bodies"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "Making a compelling case based on new evidence and fresh exposition, James Ware affirms the church's historic reading of 1 Corinthians 15. He shows that the apostolic formula in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 proclaims, in continuity with the Gospels, the resurrection of Jesus's crucified body from the tomb, and that the hope of the resurrection described in 1 Corinthians 15:12-58 involves the miraculous revivification of our present bodies of flesh and bones and their transformation to imperishability. Ware's monumental study is unmatched for its comprehensive examination of the historical setting, literary structure, syntax, and vocabulary of 1 Corinthians 15. This in-depth verse-by-verse commentary provides new insights into the text, original solutions to hitherto seemingly irresolvable difficulties, and a convincing reading of the chapter unfolding its rich theology of the resurrection as the consummation of union with Christ." --Jacket. |
