An Excellent Study

Reginald Fuller provides the most comprehensive study of the resurrection narratives that I have been able to find. Fuller examines Paul, the synoptics, John, the apocrypha, and even possible resurrection narratives transposed into the ministry of Jesus. Most of the stories are seen to be legends written to further each evangelist's theological aims. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to research the origins of the resurrection narratives.
