chapter 15 that the Corinthians held such a premature belief in the resurrection. As Dale Martin (Corinthian Body, 106) observes, “what they found objectionable about Paul’s teaching was not the future aspect of the resurrection but that it was to be a bodily resurrection.” This is especially clear in verses 35–37, whose entire purpose is to counter objections to the notion of an embodied resurrection. We should not suppose that these Corinthians understood themselves as debunkers of the gospel.
