Christianity and Reincarnation

by Rudolf Frieling

Reincarnation -- by which human beings return to live on earth -- is a concept most often associated with eastern philosophies rather than Christianity. Yet in this challenging book, Rudolf Frieling makes the case for the integration of reincarnation into a Christian worldview. He shows how an esoteric Christianity was brought to life again through the thinking of Rudolf Steiner, arguing that theology around the 'end of days' has shown how a gap exists between death and resurrection on the Last Day. Presenting the essence of Christianity, Frieling shows how it harmonizes with reincarnation, and examines the relationship of reincarnation to the Bible.

Frīlings ir teologs, kurš nesaka nē antroposofijas idejām, bet hermeneitiski ir izdarījis lielu darbu, paverot eshatoloģijai jaunus plašumus. Pateicīga par smalki iztirzāto Atklāsmes grāmatu, kura tik daudziem ir absolūtā mistērija. Jāsaka, ka tā ir tik simboliska un mītisku tēlu apvīta, ka jebkurš tur var rast interpretācijas pēc savas patikšanas un sirds gudrības. Nespēju to lasīt atrauti no astroloģijas konteksta, piemēram.
