Such a thorough analysis of the syntagma reveals that it is not very suitable as a proof of the factuality of the appearances of the Risen Christ. In the light of the use of the formula in <em>koine</em> Greek it seems much more probable that its primary function in the context of 1 Cor 15,5-8 is to announce the salvific dimension of the event as the beginning of eschatological salvation and as the present warranty of the future fulfilment of the resurrection of (all) the dead.</p>}, number={3}, journal={The Biblical Annals}, author={Gieniusz, Andrzej Marek}, year={2019}, month={Mar.}, pages={481–492} }
