From Sinners to Saints, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Because Corinth was a Greek city that meant there was still a lot of Greek culture

and traditions that still ran deep within the minds and hearts of the people there.

One of the Greek traditions that was prominent within Greek society was the

rejection of the resurrection of the dead. Remember when Paul preached in

Athens to Athenian philosophers on Mars hill and spoke of Christ resurrection,

scripture says they laughed at him and told him to go away > Acts 17:32.
