Abstract:
The doctrine of the resurrection of Christ is one of the foundations in Christianity. But the foundation of this faith continues to be challenged and attacked. One of the attacks came from Rudolf Bultmann, who believed that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was only a spiritual awakening and not even an objective historical reality. In the Indonesian context, there is a tradition called "Rambu Solo." This tradition believes that the slaughter of a buffalo will contribute to keeping the spirits of the dead safe. The doctrine of the resurrection in Corinth was due to a problem of misunderstanding. These situations will continue to occur in various places. Therefore, this article examines Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 15, especially verses 1-11 as an attempt to answer the teachings and practices of life that do not understand the work of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The method used is the biblical exegesis of 1Corinthians 15: 1-11. It is through exegesis that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is an objective historical reality. That He did rise from physical death. The exegesis significance of 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 for Bultmann's teachings and the tradition of "Rambu Solo" indicate that the two are not biblical.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 1 Corinthians 8, 10 and 15 Paul appears to argue against some of the Corinthian Christians who would have regarded their Christian community as analogous to a sort of voluntary collegia in the first century Greco-Roman world. Some characteristics of the collegia are exhibited in these chapters. Especially 8:1-13 and 10:1-22 contains the characteristics of collegia sodalicia, while 15:29 comprises those of collegia tenuiorum. This finding provides an alternative to the current scholarly interpretation of the Pauline description of the Corinthians’ eating food sacrificed to idols (1 Cor 8:1-13 and 10:1-22) and of their engagement in baptism for (or on behalf of) the dead (1 Cor 15:29).

This article describes how the writers of theHodayotunderstand Gen 2.7 as describing an anthropological crisis: the human is formed from the dust and wasting away. Drawing on Ezekiel 37, the hymnists maintain that this crisis is overcome by God imparting his Spirit. This understanding of Gen 2.7 is used to illuminate Paul's argument in 1 Corinthians 15. Paul likewise reads Gen 2.7 as a description of an anthropological problem, and he finds the solution in Ezekiel 37. Yet, he introduces his own twist so that Gen 2.7 comes to express both the crisis and the solution.

Full text
Abstract:
This article shows how Paul’s apocalyptic epistemology in 1 Corinthians 2 relates to an issue of ontology that arises in 1 Corinthians 15 (i.e., the nature of the resurrected body). Using the psychikon/pneumatikon terminology in both contexts, Paul’s rhetoric in 1 Corinthians 15 turns the cosmological hierarchy held to by ‘some’ in his audience upside down. Paul argues that the fleshly human body, rather than being at the bottom of a cosmological hierarchy with no place in the afterlife, will be elevated by God to the level of what will be redeemed/transformed in the new creation. This, in turn, suggests a definite material continuity between ‘this age’ and the new creation and that the discontinuity between them does not have to do with fleshly existence per se, but rather with how Sin has corrupted our current fleshly existence. The article concludes by suggesting that Paul’s rhetoric in this chapter ought to shape our contemporary eschatological imagination in a particular way. It should compel us not only to imagine the redemption of the material composing our body at death, but also the redemption of our body’s unfolding history along with the unfolding history of the cosmos.

Abstract:
One of the most interesting passages to deal with the apostle Paul's thoughts on the Last Day and the final Judgment is found in 1 Cor 3.10–15. Far from being an excursus, a digression or an insertion, having almost nothing to do with its context, the verses are an important element in Paul's arguments on the diversity in the Christian community in Corinth in chapters 1–4. It runs partly parallel with vv. 5–9, illustrating the same point along more or less similar lines: people responsible for the growth of the Christian communities are just servants of God and will be recompensed according to their labours at the end of time.

Full text
Abstract:
It is generally agreed that one key factor in the deterioration of Paul’s relationship with the Corinthian assembly was his refusal to accept an offer of material support. In fact, however, there is no solid textual basis for this putative datum. None of the three passages taken as evidence (1 Cor. 9.1-18; 2 Cor. 11.5-15; 12.11-18) makes explicit reference to such an offer. In each case, interpreters have inferred from Paul’s heated rhetorical questions that he is defending his decision to reject Corinthian support. But a closer look at both the syntax and the context of these questions, and at the logic of rhetorical questions more generally, shows this inference to be unlikely. When Paul boasts that he has not burdened the Corinthians, what he means is not that he has refused to accept their support, but that he has refrained from demanding it. Reconstructions of his relationship with the Corinthian assembly must be modified accordingly.

Abstract:
The consensus interpretation of 1 Corinthians 3.12–15 assumes that the building materials of 3.12 and the ‘work’ of 3.13–15 refer to the activity of the builders, usually understood as their preaching, teaching, or evangelism. This interpretation, however, leads to severe theological problems in 3.15. An alternative reading, suggested by Adolf Schlatter but largely ignored since, views the building materials and ‘work’ as human persons. This article bolsters Schlatter's reading with contextual, linguistic, theological, and patristic support. Four potential objections to this reading are then met.

Abstract:
For a long time, the role of women was restricted and even prohibited from being involved in church ministry. Even more specifically, there are still views that prohibit or reject the role of women as pastors in the church. Some have used the text of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:9-15 as a biblical foundation to strengthening this views. However, the I see that these two texts can’t be used as a biblical foundation to prohibiting or rejecting the role of women as pastors in the church. Therefore, I will reinterpret these two texts by paying attention to the context of the text and its literary elements. This is necessary to find the true meaning what Paul told in both of texts. Based on this interpretation, it will found that Paul did not prohibit the involvement of women in church in every place and time. Paul's words in the text were responded to the problems faced by the church in each text and cannot be applied absolutely in every place and time

In his undergraduate classes in New Testament Introduction, Krister Stendahl used to cite 1 Cor 15:8 as a classic example of a text with an exegetical crux that is signalled through diverse translations in the modern versions. The crucial word is ἔκτρωμα, literally “abortion,” “miscarriage,” “embryo,” or “stillborn child.” Cataloging the witnesses to the Resurrection, Paul states that the risen Christ appeared to him last, as to “an (or the) ektrðma.” But in what sense does the apostle apply the metaphor to himself?

Abstract Paul only mentions Ephesus twice explicitly, in 1 Cor 15:32 and 16:8. The latter reference leads most to place the writing of 1 Corinthians in Ephesus, while the former causes much hand-wringing over Paul’s bout with wild beasts. If indeed Paul has written to the Corinthians from Ephesus, we may be able to infer—albeit speculatively—aspects of Christian life in the city. Theißen and Hartwig’s concept of the Nebenadressat, which they apply to the Corinthians as secondary addressees of Romans, may be applied to the Ephesians as secondary addressees of the letter to Corinth. We can see from Paul’s guidelines for the Christians in Corinth how Christians in Ephesus would have lived.

Abstract:
A satisfying solution for 1 Corinthians 15:29 remains to be achieved, and this certainly justifies new directions of investigation. This article, then, focuses on two main issues: a) an indirect middle reading of baptizomenoi and baptizontai instead of permissive middle or passive, and b) Jewish burial practices performed in hope of the resurrection. Jews purified their deceased prior to burial in the Second Temple. Jewish belief in bodily resurrection was wide-spread, though not universal. Paul’s argument in 1 Cor. 15:29, then, may engage certain Jewish disciples of Jesus who believed he is the Messiah, and was resurrected, but who, like the Sadducees, denied a last-day resurrection. Paul may have enlisted Jewish burial practices and an unusual Greek construction to support the concept of resurrection.

Abstract:
Abstract In this article, I will investigate Origen’s use of two metaphors: The seed metaphor and the clothing metaphor. Both metaphors are found in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, which Origen uses as his biblical foundation in the passage from On First Principles that will be analyzed in this article. My focus will be on how Origen understands the nature, the function, and the destiny of human beings and especially of human bodies. According to Origen, the nature of the human body is changeable and unstable. This is because the bodily matter has merely been added to the rational beings at a certain time and will disappear again when its function is fulfilled. The function of the human body is to clothe the rational being on its way through fall and spiritual progress towards perfection. Thus, the body allows the rational being to be punished and educated. The destiny of the human body is eventually to disappear, but this will only happen when the body has gone through many stages of fall and progress in its service of the rational being.

Abstract:
AbstractWhen read in both their broader historical and epistolary contexts 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 4-5, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Philippians 1 suggest that Paul thinks most people (including believers) cease to exist at death. Martyrs and others of exceptional faithfulness (including apostles who die for the faith) may be exceptions to this general rule and thus possess a limited existence with God before the parousia. Paul does not seem to envision any sort of conscious or even unconscious intermediate state for most people who have died. They simply await the parousia to receive life with the resurrection body that is patterned after the body of the resurrected Christ. This is the form of existence that God intends for humans and that is appropriate for human fulfillment. Embodiment is an essential aspect of this full existence for Paul.

Abstract:
Although the Eucharist is attested four times (Matthew 26:26–29; Mark 14:22–25; Luke 22:15–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26) in the New Testament, only two (Luke and 1 Corinthians) out of the four instances bespeak of commemorating this event (“Do this in remembrance of me”). Limiting the discussion to Mark’s iteration of this event, Mark’s version does not command to remember; rather he focuses on the ontological (“This is my body/blood”). This paper follows Stephen D. Moore’s vegetal reading of the Johannine Jesus (Gospel Jesuses and Other Nonhumans) that invites and acknowledges the animacy of the vegetal in affectively re-engaging the identity of the messiah. That is, (processed) plants/food are not there just to be symbolically equated with the body and blood of the messiah. They re-animate and re-define the nature of messiahship. This paper utilizes Jane Bennett’s vital materialism, Bruno Latour’s actants, and Michael Marder’s vegetality in arguing that Mark vegetally reconfigures the ontology of the messiah in the Eucharist/Last Supper scene (14:22–25). Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of assemblage will assist in elaborating how the vegetal could dismantle anthropocentric understanding of ontology. By doing so, this paper opens up the possibility to reimagine a messiah who finds his identity with the vegetal or those that are considered dispensable.

Abstract:
In 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, Paul confesses to being beset by “a thorn in the flesh” connected in some way with a prior ecstatic experience (vv 2–4), which he summons “the Lord” on three occasions to remove (v 8). The intersecting topoi of this passage—illness, pain, healing, altered states of consciousness ( Pilch 2004 ; Goodman 1990 ), strength and weakness, the role of non-human forces in human illness, explanations of/for illness, and the (non)efficacy of prayer for healing—raise a complex of questions that ought not be answered in isolation. In pursuit of answers to such questions regarding illness and healing in the “symbolic world” of Paul and the community he addressed, I employ here conceptual tools garnered from the field of ethnomedical anthropology. I offer fresh readings of the dynamics at work in Paul's “thorn” discourse—a key component of the rhetorical culmination of Paul's speech act designed to (re-)assert his credentials as God's apostle to the gathered people at Corinth ( Neufeld 2000 )—while making reference throughout to its immediate literary context, the so-called “letter of tears” (2 Cor. 10–13), as well as to its relationship to the structure of ideas on illness and healing in Paul's larger epistolary corpus (e.g. Galatians 4:13–15; 1 Corinthians 11:27–34; 12:8–10, 28, 29–30).
