Document Details : Title: The Resurrection of the Messiah's End-Time People Subtitle: Describing Paul's Resurrection Discourse in Jewish Apocalyptic Terms Author(s): JEONG, Donghyun Journal: Biblica Volume: 105 Issue: 2 Date: 2024 Pages: 265-289 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.105.2.3293544 Abstract : Paul’s resurrection discourse in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15 is rooted in Jewish apocalyptic tradition, while displaying twists and developments due to his convictions about the Messiah, his own revelatory experience, and new realities in his Messiah-devoted communities. This paper demonstrates three distinctive features in Paul’s resurrection discourse: (1) the asymmetrical description of resurrection, focusing on the fate of believers only; (2) the combination of two traditions, that is, the general resurrection at the end and the heavenly ascent in the body; and (3) believers’ union with the Messiah in heaven rather than joining the host of angels. |
