I Corinthians 15, 44-45 The First Man, Adam and the Last Adam

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the core of the Pauline discourse on the resurrection, which I have identified to be around verses 44-45 of chapter 15 of I Corinthians. I have analyzed the key terms of verse 44, and then deeper scrutinized verse 45, where the historical Adam and the metahistorical Adam reflect a paradigm of the Christian life that does not end with the biblical text. The Eastern tradition inherits the Pauline doctrine and catalyzes it at the primary level of the functionality of the neptic experience. I have proposed some representative texts of the Neptic fathers to illustrate their viewpoint in relation to the Pauline biblical message.
