Douglas -- what interesting questions!
On 1), (a), definitely The Resurrection of the Son of God (

on (b) I believe the answer is Paul in Fresh Perspective (
http://tinyurl.com/2t6vp6), though I haven't read that, but see also this
essay: //www.ntwrightpage.com/Wright_New_Perspectives.htm<http://www.ntwrightpage.com/Wright_New_Perspectives.htm>
On 2), I'm not sure, but in his "Evil and the Justice of God" (
http://tinyurl.com/2m2nzx) he offers a theodicy that does not seem
compatible with an evolving creation perspective. For example, he suggests
that the changing seasons are an effect of the fall.
