1989 0-88946-003-5
Deals with the Easter occurrences: the reporters; the various ways of accounting for Jesus' Easter appearances, including theories that the disciples stole the body or that coma was followed by physical revival; proliferations of stories about Jesus' post-Easter ministries in parts of the world; and the development of Mary stories in connection with the Passion and Easter.
