T1 Immortality of the Soul (Platōn) and Bodily Resurrection (Paul) — Any Rapprochement?
A1 Caragounis, Chrys C.
AB It is a usual assumption among New Testament scholars that in his discussion of the resurrectionof the dead, Paul holds to the Jewish view of the resurrection of the body, not to theHellenic (Platonic) view of the immortality of the soul. As this question impinges on thequestion of anthropology, it is further stated that according to the Hellenic view man hasa body — which, moreover is conceived as a tomb of the soul (Orphics) — whereas accordingto the Jewish view man is a body.A careful investigation of the Hellenic and OT-Jewish evidence shows that it is a methodologicalmiss to confuse views in Homēros and the Orphics with later views in Sokratesand Platōn. Moreover there never was a “Jewish view” of the resurrection. There werefive/six views. The resurrection of the body was a minority view.The Pauline texts show that Paul speaks of the resurrection of the dead but never of theresurrection of the body as well as that man has a body. It is thus intriguing to comparePaul’s view of resurrection with Platōn’s view of the immortality of the soul and see howfar apart they are from one another.
