📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthians to address confusion and doubts about the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing eyewitness testimonies as proof of this central Christian belief. He mentions Jesus appearing to James, who was Jesus' brother and had been skeptical before the resurrection, and then to all the apostles, highlighting how these events solidified the early church's foundation. This account was part of a larger argument in chapter 15 to affirm the hope of resurrection for believers.
