No Resurrection? How Does That Make Sense?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 17, 2024

It’s not clear what the back-story is for this claim, but it leads to one of Paul’s best little classes in logic. Perhaps there was a Sadducee-trained Jewish Christian in Corinth. They didn’t believe in any resurrection.
