Abstract
An account of how 1 and 2 Corinthians are related and what their meaning is in the context of emergent Christianity and Paul's view of the social role of biblical texts.

From the Paper
"In order to understand the relationship between 1 and 2 Corinthians, it is important to appreciate their role as foundational texts of the Christian and especially Pauline mission of the apostolic period. They do not present the whole picture of formative Christianity, that is they are not sufficient to explicating it. They are, however, necessary and although each has its particular objective, they achieve more complete resonance to the extent they are considered a unit. That is, because of the circumstances under which the texts emerged which have to do..."

Abstract
The paper examines the "First Letter to the Corinthians" and what Paul has to say about women. The paper relates that most of these things are negative about women and their rights, however, some of them impose equal standards on the two sexes. The paper discusses how he states that husband and wife reciprocally rule over each other's bodies, he enjoins both sexes not to leave or divorce their spouse, and he suggests that both sexes can save their spouse by virtue of their own belief, even if their spouse is not a believer. The paper points out that he also understands that married people of both sexes are likely to be less focused on God than single people of both sexes, because they will be distracted by their spouse.

From the Paper
"In the "First Letter to the Corinthians", Paul has a great deal to say about women. Most of these things are negative about women and their rights. However, some of them are not, and impose equal standards on the two sexes. For example, he begins by sounding as if he believes in equal rights, when he states that husband and wife reciprocally rule over each other's bodies (I Corinthians 7:4). Similarly, he enjoins both sexes not to leave or divorce their spouse, if at all possible (I Corinthians 7:10-11). In like vein, he suggests that both sexes can save their spouse..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the importance of the crucifixion and the resurrection are the two fundamental faiths of Christianity. The writer maintains that while the disciples saw the crucifixion of Jesus, they believed in the resurrection because they saw Jesus. It is the testimony of the disciples about the crucifixion and the resurrection that have laid the foundation for Christianity. Both the Old and New Testament discuss the crucifixion and resurrection.

From the Paper
"John Carey, the Archbishop of Canterbury states, "Belief in the resurrection is not an appendage to the Christian faith. It is the Christian faith" ("The Resurrection of Jesus Christ"). The importance of the crucifixion and the resurrection are the two fundamental faiths of Christianity. While the disciples saw the crucifixion of Jesus, they believed in the resurrection because they saw Jesus. It is the testimony of the disciples about the crucifixion and the resurrection that have laid the foundation for Christianity. It is important to study what the Old Testament and New Testament states about the crucifixion and the ..."

Abstract
The paper first discusses the depictions of Jesus Christ's resurrection in the Bible and how each account given in the four Gospels differ slightly. The paper then goes on to describe the historical evidence of the Bible and examines possible explanations for the validity of Christ's resurrection.

From the Paper
"The Resurrection of Christ is usually considered to be a matter of faith: Christianity believes that Christ was crucified, and then resurrected (returned to life), in order to be taken into heaven. This resurrection is an article of faith: if Christ did not return to life after death, then he is no different from other heroes of Christianity, or from other prophets, such as Muhammad. However, the issue of the return to life is complicated by the question of historical proof: did the historical person Christ (whose existence is verified by Roman and Jewish sources), actually rise?"

Abstract
This paper examines Christ's resurrection from the dead, one of the central images of Christianity and a cornerstone of Christian belief. The paper explains that, throughout I Corinthians 15, the chapter of the epistle that refers to the resurrection in greater detail than any other, Paul emphasizes the concept of grace. As grace is a central concept in Christian ideology, the resurrection is a central motif.

From the Paper
"Christ's resurrection from the dead is one of the central images of Christianity and a cornerstone of Christian belief. Referred to throughout the Gospels, the resurrection of the body is particularly meaningful to Pauline thought. Therefore, the 15th chapter of I Corinthians can aptly illustrate the meaning of the resurrection for the Christian community in general. Resurrection was not a unique feature of Christianity, as the notion of rising from the dead played a large part in the ancient religions of Egypt and the Middle East. However, Greek philosophy denied the possibility of resurrection. Paul anticipates the skepticism of his audience when he poses the rhetorical question in I Corinthians 15:12: "But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?" Therefore, Paul's delivery of Christianity to Corinth, Greece could in large part be an attempt to underscore the potency of faith, and the importance of unconditional belief in God and Jesus Christ."
