reincarnation the missing link in christianity

This book is easy to read, provides clear illustrations, historical and biblical support. I find many of the parallels between now and then in terms of dogma fascinating, whether it’s religious, political, or social.

The only possible drawback that this book may have for the average reader, in my opinion, is the pushing of their own brand of Ascension theology towards the end, but that’s only a minor flaw that is easily forgiven. For example, it seems as if I have found a kindred spirit in Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenistic Jew who made a synthesis of Judaism and Greek philosophy – I suppose I’ll have to get a copy of his works. This book also opens the door to many interesting avenues of study for those interested in esoteric Christianity and Christian origins. And in the process, they cover implications and ramifications that the average Christian who believes in reincarnation hasn’t even thought of, but needs to be aware of, or appreciate more deeply. The authors follow up all the implications and ramifications that acceptance of the doctrine of reincarnation would have on Christianity, and really flesh things out to paint a vivid picture of how Christianity would be totally different if reincarnation were part of the picture. It’s accessible and easy to read, and has a wealth of information and data for both the lay person and the specialist. This book is definitely one of the best books on reincarnation, or on any other spiritual subject, that I have ever read. One of the Best Spiritual Books I Have Ever Read! I appreciate this book because it helped me move forward on my spiritual path and accept other people’s beliefs without judgment. This book opened my eyes and introduced me to new ways of thinking and I have continued to search for truth wherever it exists for me ever since. But, I was searching because I had sadly began to realize that I had been disillusioned by the fear-based dogma of the churches I had been attending. At the time, I was steeped in a Christian belief system that did not allow for open-minded thinking of such things as explained in this book. When I read this book in 2001, it was my first exposure to the concept of reincarnation. It helped me move forward on my spiritual path and accept other people’s beliefs without judgment Michael Travis Jasper, Author of the Novel “To Be Chosen” I think anyone interested in this subject matter will enjoy this book.

It is a very interesting topic to consider and study. Some feel that specific verses suggest Jesus believed in reincarnation and taught about it. It has long been speculated about the original Church’s view of reincarnation. Towards the end, the author seemed to veer into sharing a lot of her own beliefs and the philosophies she teaches. I felt that the early chapters of the book were informative, and discussed facts and strong probabilities based on available documents and evidence. This book in an interesting study of the role that reincarnation may have played in the teachings of early Christianity. Your view of Jesus and of Christianity will never be the same. Using the latest scholarship and evidence from the Dead Sea scrolls and Gnostic texts, she also argues persuasively that Jesus was a mystic who also taught that our destiny is to unite with the God within. Reincarnation: The Missing Link In Christianity, a groundbreaking work by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, makes the case that Jesus taught reincarnation!Įlizabeth Clare Prophet traces the history of reincarnation in Christianity – from Jesus and the early Christians through Church councils and the persecution of so-called heretics. A long time ago the Christians, who lived closer to the time of Jesus, believed in reincarnation.
