In order to have a well-rounded understanding of the arguments for and against a historical resurrection of Jesus, what would be a comprehensive list of must-read scholarly books defending its historicity and scholarly books denying it?
To get us started, here are some books I'm aware of:
For:
- The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus ([link](https://www.amazon.com/Case-Christ-Journalists-Personal-Investigation/dp/0310339308))
- The Fate of the Apostles: Examining the Martyrdom Accounts of the Closest Followers of Jesus ([link](https://www.amazon.com/Fate-Apostles-Examining-Martyrdom-Followers/dp/1472465202))
- Evidence for the Resurrection ([link](https://www.amazon.com/Evidence-Resurrection-Josh-McDowell/dp/0830751378/))
- The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus ([link](https://www.amazon.com/Case-Resurrection-Jesus-Gary-Habermas/dp/0825427886/))
Against:
- On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt ([link](https://www.amazon.com/Historicity-Jesus-Might-Reason-Doubt/dp/1909697494/))
- Jesus Before the Gospels: How the Earliest Christians Remembered, Changed, and Invented Their Stories of the Savior ([link](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z71VJJS/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i5))
Both for and against:
- Resurrection: Faith or Fact?: A Scholars' Debate Between a Skeptic and a Christian ([link](https://www.amazon.com/Resurrection-Scholars-Between-Skeptic-Christian/dp/1634311744))
Are there other relevant books worth keeping in mind?
