This book focuses on the controversy recorded in 1 Corinthians 15
regarding the denial of the resurrection of the dead. Many attempts
and proposals have been made to understand the background of Paul's
opponents. By focusing on the possible impact of Stoicism, Albert
V. Garcilazo argues that the internal evidence of the letter
indicates that some of the Corinthians had adopted a realized
eschatology as well as an antisomatic view of the resurrection,
which in turn prompted them to reject the future resurrection of
the dead. Garcilazo suggests that the higher status members of the
congregation were influenced by the cosmological, anthropological,
and ethical teachings of the Stoa, especially the tenets of the
Roman Stoics. He demonstrates this possibility by first considering
the similarities between the doctrines of the Corinthian dissenters
and the teachings of the Stoic philosophers, particularly the
teachings of Seneca. Following a brief overview of Stoicism, the
author concentrates on some of the theological issues revealed in
the letter and examines how other scholars have interpreted 1
Corinthians 15. Finally, he provides a detailed analysis of 1
Corinthians 15: 12-49. In short, Garcilazo argues that the
philosophy of the Stoics seemingly contributed to the resurrection
controversy recorded in 1 Corinthians 15.
