Paul J. Brown contributes to this ongoing discussion by tracing Paul's logic for connecting the moral imperatives in 1 Cor 15 to the bodily resurrection. The author examines the afterlife belief system of the resurrection-deniers and proposes that their eschatology was informed by Greco-Roman mythology. This enabled the Corinthians to embrace the bodily resurrection of Jesus as a hero and reject the prospect of their own. Brown suggests that Paul strategically leveraged their Greco-Roman thinking in his discussion of the resurrection to argue that their in-Christ status made them partakers of the Messiah's beatific afterlife, and that the Greco-Roman practice of patron emulation should motivate them to live in imitation of the heavenly man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mohr Siebeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890787303575,"sku":"9783161530388","price":14120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783161530388.webp?v=1781181331","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bodily-resurrection-and-ethics-in-1-cor-15-connecting-faith-and-morality-in-the-context-of-greco-roman-mythology-9783161530388","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
