1 Corinthians 15 centres on the idea of resurrection. We explore what the chapter has to say to Adventists specifically, for whom the state of the dead and the mechanics of resurrection are dear doctrinal territory. But the discussion finds its heart in the mystery of what the resurrection body actually is — and what continuity might exist between who we are now and who we will be. George MacDonald's fairy tale The Day Boy and the Night Girl turns out to be the best companion text we could find: a story about two people for whom the fulfillment of everything they know turns out to be something at once recognisable and incomparably greater.
