Etymology[edit]

resurrection +‎ -ism

Noun[edit]

resurrectionism (uncountable)

  1. Belief in, or the event of, a person being resurrected from the dead.
  2. (historical) Graverobbing.
    • 2011, Martin Conaghan, Burke & Hare:
      Ironically, resurrectionism was not a crime in the 1800s, and both men would never have fallen foul of the law if graverobbing was their only enterprise; certainly, Burke would never have received the death penalty.
