📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthian church to address divisions and misconceptions, including skepticism about the resurrection of the dead. He draws from the biblical account in Genesis, where Adam's sin introduced death to all humanity, and contrasts this with Christ's victory over death through His resurrection. This teaching was essential because the Corinthians, influenced by Greek philosophy, often denied the idea of bodily resurrection.
