Cited as an early Christian creed to argue that the proclamation of Jesus's death, burial, resurrection, and appearances goes back to the earliest Christian tradition, not to a late corruption.
Scripture spotlight
1 Corinthians 15:3-8
bible
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
An audience question raised Paul's report of 500 witnesses to the risen Jesus; Wood used it to defend the resurrection tradition and the existence of multiple resurrection appearances.
Used as the earliest Christian creed/tradition to argue that belief in Jesus' death and resurrection arose within a few years of the crucifixion, not centuries later.
