The author examines the themes of polarity and change in Paul's argument in 1 Corinthians 15:35-57, demonstrating that Paul uses a didactic method of argumentation about the resurrection of the dead. Some of the contents are: Change and ancestral changes; Paul's rhetoric; Paul's didactic style; argument of inconsistency; correcting the dissenters; accommodation; solution to the Corinthians Dilemma; Paul's antithetical style; distribution of bodies; philosophical denial; correction of false conclusion; Paul and Aristotle.
