Reincarnation in Modern Life: Towards a New Christian Awareness : Six Lectures Given in Rome, 22-25 April 1994

Reincarnation is usually considered to be ancient, non-Christian doctrine originating in the East. Is it compatible with the teachings of Christianity? In a lively and fluid style, Pietro Archiati describes the approach to reincarnation taken by the spiritual master Rudolf Steiner -- an approach which is wholly relevant to Western consciousness and steeped in true Christianity.

By applying and developing Steiner's ideas, Archiati brings the concepts of reincarnation to bear on many aspects of modern life, including such vexed issues as abortion and rape. He addresses the question of whether reincarnation appears in the New Testament, and explains how we can understand theological problems such as Christ's Resurrection and the resurrection of the body from this wider context.
