Real Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reincarnation for the Christian (Paperback)
Much of the book is given to explaining reincarnation to the beginner, and little to someone who has already studied the topic. There is a bit given to the early church fathers who believed in reincarnation, much to those who fought them, and only two instances, known by almost everyone by now, shown in the new testament. If you know the story of the man blind at birth and Jesus telling that Elijah had come again in the form of John the Baptist, then you would be better off trying another title, or better yet, the writtings of pre-Nicene Christians

Good Introduction,
By Mike Shaw (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reincarnation for the Christian (Paperback)
This is a great book, that is easy to read and gives a good introduction to the teaching of reincarnatoin in Christianity. Such a topic is not easy to address, especially when we have to take into account that Origen had many levels of teachings. He kept reincarnation for those who had already understood the basic teachings of Christ, thus, some people, like one of the other reviews, might be confused when they come across seemingly contridictory writings in the works of the great Early Church Father, Origen.

Origen,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reincarnation for the Christian (Paperback)
Origen "strongly advocated the inclusion of reincarnation as a legitimate Christian concept"? This is what the back cover states. Is this the same Origen who wrote:"In this place it does not appear to me that by Elijah the soul is spoken of, lest I should fall into the dogma of transmigration, which is foreign to the church of God, and not handed down by the Apostles, nor anywhere set forth in the Scriptures." If you want a good treatment of Christianity vs. Reincarnation, read "When Skeptics Ask" by Norman Geisler.
