So the discerning reader with time (it's a thick book) should check out: Wright, N.T. The Resurrection of the Son of God. Christian Origins and the Question of God. Minneapolis: Fortress, 2003. I've also heard Gary Habermas give a lecture on the resurrection that was decent. You might check out: Habermas, Gary. The Risen Jesus and Future Hope. Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2003. He's written some others on the resurrection as well, but this was the one that made it into my files. Regarding dangers concerning apologetics related to the resurrection, Carl Henry has something toward the end of vol. 1 of God, Revelation, and Authority (look for Clark Pinnock in the index). John Frame probably has some comments on this from a Van Tillian perspective in Apologetics to the Glory of God and in Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thought.

Very interesting...I like how you put him in his place for not having done "the requisite research in historical theology." Is there any other (better) work you recommend that treats the historicity of the resurrection without some of Wright's weaknesses? Jeremy Thanks Brian!
