1 Corinthians 15:35-42 a. § 54. THE MANNER OF THE RESURRECTION. We enter on the second part of the Apostle's argument touching the Resurrection: see the analysis, Introd. to Div. V. He has established the truth of the doctrine and the certainty of the event, and proceeds consequently to set forth the manner of its occurrence and the nature of the new body to be assumed. P. has still in view the unbelieving “some,” and pursues the dialectical and apologetic vein of the foregoing context. The deniers found in the inconceivability of the process (1 Corinthians 15:35) a further and, in their eyes, decisive objection against the reality of the fact. In vindicating his doctrine upon this side, P. therefore confirms its truth; he traces its analogies in nature, and its harmony with the order of Divine revelation; and the first half of his grand argument culminates in the second. See Edwards' subtle analysis of 1 Corinthians 15:35-44.
