Another Reason Paul Doesn’t Mention The Empty Tomb

 Paul’s audience in Corinth wasn’t doubting Jesus’ resurrection; rather, they were doubting their future resurrections (1 Cor. 15:12-13, 29, etc.). The empty tomb wouldn’t be evidence for the general resurrection that Paul’s audience was doubting. Indeed, an empty tomb is just a by-product of the general resurrection, since it is a bodily event.
