"Outward and
Inward Morality," I Corinthians 15:10, Meister Eckhart. |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "And so at the length he
begins this treatise at Christ's resurrection, which is the ground
and foundation of ours, and confirms it first by the testimony of
the scriptures and by the witness of the apostles, and of more than
five hundred brethren, and last of all by his own." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "When sinners are, by Divine
grace, turned into saints, God causes the remembrance of former sins
to make them humble, diligent, and faithful." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes.
| "An untimely birth - It was
impossible to abase himself more than he does by this single
appellation. As an abortion is not worthy the name of a man, so he
affirms himself to be not worthy the name of an apostle." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "Christ's resurrection rests
on the evidence of many eye-witnesses, including Paul himself, and
is the great fact preached as the groundwork of the Gospel: they who
deny the resurrection in general, must deny that of Christ, and the
consequence of the latter will be, that Christian preaching and
faith are vain." |
|
| From The
People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "Among the various false
doctrines which had crept into the church at Corinth, composed of
those who had so recently been heathen, and who had so much to
unlearn, was one that the resurrection of the soul from sin to a new
life; that this resurrection was already past in the case of those
converted (2
Tim. 2:18), and that a resurrection after death was
impossible." |

Epiphany 5," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in

| "One may wonder why Paul suddenly
interrupts his concerns with spiritual gifts which he has been expounding
since chapter 12 to speak about resurrection. The answer becomes clear
when we look at the whole chapter and at the whole letter." |

The Journey with Jesus: Notes to Myself, Daniel B. Clendenin, Journey with
Jesus Foundation.
| "I believe the first believers partly because of their
chronicle of disbelief—their own and that of their detractors. To me it
rings true. They knew from firsthand experience that you cannot compel
belief in the resurrection." |
|
| "The
Living Tradition of the Cross," analysis and reflections by
Steven C. Kuhl in Sabbatheology by The Crossings Community of
St Louis.
| "Indeed, even today, the cross
and resurrection are so closely connected in the life of the
believer that the resurrection appears as nothing other than the
living tradition of the cross in the life of those who
believe." |

"First
Thoughts on Passages on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary:
Easter Day," William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "Affirming that God raised Jesus from
the dead (whether with a transformation model or a replacement model) is
foundational for reading the story of Jesus as paradigmatic for us all:
there is death and there is hope!" |

Corinthians 15:Thematic Elaboration." From The Tapestry of Early
Christian Discourse: Rhetoric, Society and Ideology, Dr. Vernon K. Robbins, London:
Routledge, 1996.

argumentation central to early Christian discourse. Without this kind of intertextual
argument, it is doubtful that Christianity would have become a powerful alternative to
other Jewish groups at the time." |

| "Since rereading 1 Corinthians 15
during these days of quiet bereavement I have been more than usually
sensitive to the New Testament image of death as sleep, to the several
connotations and implications of words in the Bible that speak of sleeping
and awakening, perishing and quickening, death and resurrection." |
