The keystone of Christianity is Jesus’s physical, bodily resurrection. Present-day scholars can be significantly challenged as they forage through voluminous documents on the resurrection of Jesus. The literature measures well over seven thousand sources in English-language books alone. This makes finding specific sources that are most relevant for specific scholarly purposes an arduous task. Even when a specific book is relevant, finding the parts of the book that are most relevant to the resurrection rather than other topics often requires additional effort. A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus’s Resurrection addresses these challenges in several ways. First, the bibliography organizes more than seven thousand English sources into twelve main categories and then thirty-four subcategories, which are designed to help you find the most relevant literature quickly and efficiently. Embedded are pro and con arguments which support efficient access through brief annotations and then annotate the diversity and complexity of the field of religion by including sources that represent a diverse range of views: theistic (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), agnostic, and nontheistic. The objective of this bibliography is to provide convenient access to relevant sources from a variety of perspectives, allowing you to browse or find the one source accurately and with ease.

Excerpt from The Plan of Redemption by Our Lord Jesus Christ: Carefully Examined and Argued by Inquiring Into God's Revealed Purpose in the Creation of Man, the Adamic Law, the Old and New Covenants, Atonement by the Death and Blood of Christ, Universal Resurrection of the Dead, the Judement, the Israel of God, King In putting forth this work to the public, we have sought, as much as our studies and abilities would allow, to supply a want which has long been felt and acknowledged by many of the household of faith and others seeking light on the works of God. While much has been written on various subjects taught in the Bible, but few have treated upon, as special topics, the leading principles of Revelation, to bring together the passages which embody the Fundamental Doctrines of the Covenants, and the Atonement by Jesus Christ, out of which grow all other parts of the System of Redemption. We have long desired to see a well-matured work on the chief topics embraced in this book; and not being aware that such a work is before the public, we have for several years contemplated the publication of the results of our investigations on these topics, which we now do. We have sought to lead the mind of the reader into the Bible, "to search the Scriptures," to grasp the foundation principles, to strengthen the faith of those who believe in God, and confirm the hope of those who waver.
