The single raising-the-dead story in the Life of Apollonius (book 4, ch. 45) is immediately qualified — Philostratus himself says he doesn't know if the woman was really dead (steam rising from her face in the rain suggests she may have been breathing) or if Apollonius actually raised her. This is not comparable to the bodily resurrection of Christ.
