Resumen:
The present research is based on the problematic found by the Apostle Paul in the Church of Corinth, mainly in what concerns the question of the resurrection and as mentioned, the Orthodox question received a Pauline confrontation. Pauline Christology based on the crucified Christ was the theme of Paul's preaching. Of Christ, victim of a hideous death on the cross, however, resurrected on the third day. Herein lay the folly of Paul's preaching, which contrasted with the wisdom of the world around him. The problems that arose in the church of Corinth, relating to orthodoxy, as well as of a practical and liturgical nature, gave the apostle an opportunity to respond with guidelines whose value, relevance and application far transcend the limits of that time and place, given its actuality, making Paul an apologist, in the uncompromising defense of what he preached. His proto-letters reveal Paul's combative and fierce defense of the gospel against “deviant teachings” that tried to undermine it. In the First Letter to the Corinthians, Paul effectively defends the gospel from “extra ecclesia” attacks, which translated into external influences to that church, especially against “human wisdom” that tried to question the reflection of the resurrection.
