Description
Summary:When considering Paul's eschatology as reflected by his dealing with the subject of the resurrection of the dead, it becomes clear from the evidence available that there is no unitary picture. Unless it is to be assumed that Paul conceived of the notion of an intermediate state, which seems totally unacceptable, only two possible explanations for this diversity remain. Either Paul is inconsistent in his dealing with the subject, or a development took place in his eschatology. Of these two, the latter should be considered as the more probable.
