1 Corinthians 15

Listen: FaithJustice Bible Podcast

Questions

1) What are your initial reactions, emotions, when reading the text?

2) Do you believe in resurrection of the dead? Either in Jesus’ case, the case of those you have known, or your own?

3) What is the place of Jesus’ death and resurrection your own life? How does your own personal theology, understanding of God, emerge from your encounters with the death and resurrection of Jesus?

4) Paul speaks about the present as an in-between time, between Christ’s resurrection, and a final universal resurrection. How do you understand this in-between time? What does it mean to live in our pre-resurrected form?

5) Paul speaks of a casting down of all powers and authorities, how do you understand this? Is it something you look forward to, or fear?

6) How, and how often, do you engage with final salvation? How does your faith (or lack of faith) guide you?
