The Essay on Resurrection is the Rambam's response to accusations that had been made against him that he did not believe in Resurrection of the Dead. It deals with the nature of the Resurrection, the world to come, reward and punishment and miracles. It is a fascinating letter because, at points, the rambam shows his personal frustration and pain over being accused of heresy.
