With impetus provided by the accumulated historical and textual
evidence supporting reincarnation, this book first examines Gospel
evidence that Jesus actually taught reincarnation and karma rather
than resurrection. Deardorff's compelling analysis bolsters other
studies indicating that the concept of resurrection displaced
reincarnation in earliest Christianity due to its pre-belief by
certain Pharisee converts, and specifies how the Gospels came to
reflect this belief. Jesus in India reexamines the evidence that
the "lost years" of Jesus' youth were spent in the India.
Deardorff's analysis brings out the plausibility of Jesus having
gained knowledge about reincarnation and related spiritual matters
under certain yogis in India. With the empty tomb on Easter morning
not to be explained by resurrection, the book reviews six
resuscitation hypotheses and presents a seventh one that withstands
previous objections. This well documented research constitutes an
important addition to the existing literature on comparative
religions and a thought provoking contribution to the on-going
debate on the historicity of a wide range of New Testament
passages.
