Chapter 6 – Jesus and Paul
Some Key Terms:
Bodily Resurrection
The physical, literal raising of Jesus from the dead -not a metaphor, illusion, hallucination, or resuscitation; central to all Christian belief and practice
The Fall (Genesis 3)
As a result of sin an disobedience, humanity's relationship with God is broken, humanity's relationship with one another is broken, and humans are now subject to death.
Firstfruits
Agricultural metaphor: the first batch of a harvest tells you the quality of the rest;
Jesus's bodily resurrection guarantees the same for believers.
