Resurrection Books

[ericbwonder]

I have attempted to a compile a fairly comprehensive list of major books on the resurrection of Jesus and associated topics by academics, apologists, etc., some older. The list follows. I have a large compilation of articles and individual essays in anthologies elsewhere, but I'm looking for biblical studies books here where Jesus's resurrection or 'resurrection/afterlife' stuff is the major or explicit focus. There's a sizable chunk of 'death/passion' stuff in this list and a few things on more narrow topics that I didn't take out, but if anyone notes any major omissions, I'd appreciate your input.
