Except for the Book of John, the other Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) do not mention the Lazarus miracle, i.e., bringing back a dead person after a record four days.  Event occurs  shortly before Passover, probably between April 3-7, AD 30.  Warming weather would have accelerated decomposition, which explains the reluctance of Martha to have Jesus approach the grave of Lazarus.

Jesus raises a widow’s son from the dead in Nain, the resurrection only found in Luke 7:11.

Jesus raising Jairus’ daughter back to life, that return from death is not found at all in John but Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

I think there are only two incidents previously, with Elisha and Elija who both raised dead people back to life in the Old Testament.  It seems like the whole ‘Lazarus effect’ thing, this was an obsession and consuming passion with the Christian religion. The mystery of resurrection is central to the New Testament, even more so than was in the stories in the Old Testamant.

I would critique the Christian religion as needing to have been a little more consistent and persistent wrt to its underlying purpose in using the resurrection motif.  It wasn’t, we get all the scattered, haphazard accounts of dead people coming back to life on Jesus’ command, or in the case of Tabitha and Eutychus, by Peter and Paul .  Which suggests to me that all these resurrection stories were contrived and put together for ulterior purposes.

No other religion that I know has such an obsession with bringing dead people back to life. At least the ancient Egyptians were more practical with their death and resurrection stories, they included an entire Book of the Dead dedicated to the deceased’s journey into the afterlife.   But magically bringing dead back into the world of living, that never was a possibility to be considered.  Death being one way, sorry Charlie, no U-turns allowed.  Perhaps the reason was it interered with their idea of the cycle of reincarnation, so the necessity of bringing dead people back into the world of the living only is acceptable when you reject reincarnation. 

Bring dead back to life, all of that would have been nonsensical if it interfered with the natural cycles of death and reincarnation/rebirth.  Also no resurrection stories in Buddhism or in Islam, to my knowledge.
