What deep subject does Paul address in 1 Corinthians 15?
In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul addresses the deep subject of resurrection, a central aspect of the Christian faith. The chapter contains more on resurrection than all the rest of the Bible put together. This makes it a key passage for understanding resurrection doctrine.
Les teaches that 1 Corinthians was written to the Corinthians, who were carnal and babes in Christ. Paul spends the first part of the letter dealing with their many problems, but in chapter 15 he suddenly delves into some of the deepest aspects of the whole Christian faith, which is resurrection. Les notes there is probably more on resurrection in this one chapter than all the rest of the Bible put together.
