Of course many of the Hellenistic thinkers were reincarnationalists and this was taken up by the classic gnostics, maybe Valentinians, and also maybe Origen. So it was around. Jewish sources tended to talk about cyclic incarnation of the spirit in prophetic folks, but not reincarnation as we talk about it today.April DeConickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616757055618151612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-40470561995543051782009-08-31T22:09:10.354-07:002009-08-31T22:09:10.354-07:00April, I'm curious . . . does this ponderous t...April, I'm curious . . . does this ponderous tome contain useful information regarding reincarnation in the traditions it covers? I'm looking for some reliable scholarship on traces of reincarnation in early Christianity and the Nag Hammadi material. (I've been reading Christopher Bache's book Lifecycles, but it's not very current.) Any recommendations?<br /><br />Thanks!Pam Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078151380163682981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-46122103157500218072009-08-31T17:42:45.109-07:002009-08-31T17:42:45.109-07:00John, yes a library book I think.John, yes a library book I think.April DeConickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616757055618151612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-45815472862354983222009-08-31T15:50:48.273-07:002009-08-31T15:50:48.273-07:00Huge book, huge price.Huge book, huge price.John Noycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966033772994457851noreply@blogger.com
