In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores the earliest account of the resurrection, found not in the Gospels but in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, and explores how Paul presents this tradition to a new, largely Gentile Christian community.

It explains why Paul emphasises the reliability and diversity of witnesses, including himself, rather than the vivid details of resurrection encounters, in order to establish both the truth of the resurrection and his authority as an apostle.
