Join us on Zoom for a Salon lecture "Reincarnation: Greco-Roman, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian Perspectives" for Ipso Facto by Dr. James Rietveld on Thursday, December 11, 8 pm.
Reincarnation When we hear the word reincarnation, we often think about Eastern Religions, in particular Hinduism and Buddhism among others, but rarely do we think about the Greeks and Romans or some Jews and early Christians believing this particular mortal life is not all that there is, but that the soul continues and enters into further lifetimes within a literal physical body.
Together we will investigate beliefs in reincarnation within the contexts of both the East and the West.
We will decipher the very first evidence for such beliefs, and offer explanations for why they developed (or were realized depending on your perspective).
You will journey all over the world, including the Americas, comparing different perspectives on reincarnation.
You will realize there’s more diversity to beliefs regarding living multiple lifetimes then is commonly taught!
This lecture will be from an academic historical point-of-view, not a faith-based perspective, so whatever your beliefs on this topic, you are welcome at this informative and entertaining talk!
This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: [dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903](https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw "https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw")
