Description
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking exposition of the resurrection hope in 1Corinthians15 Making a compelling case based on new evidence and fresh exposition, James Ware affirms the church?s historic reading of 1Corinthians 15. He shows that the apostolic formula in 1Corinthians 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 1Corinthians 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 1Corinthians 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.
