Masks of the Soul: The Facts Behind Reincarnation Walker, Benjamin
This is a thorough study of the theory of reincarnation. Walker describes the doctrine of reincarnation as it appears in various religions and also deals with the scientific evidence for reincarnation. Alternate explanations are also discussed. Walker points out that the reincarnation hypothesis is favored by the testimony of tradition while the scientific evidence rules against it. "We therefore cannot be so skeptical as to reject it outright, nor so dogmatic as to accept it without qualification. This book presents the evidence from both sides, and it is left to readers to draw their own conclusions" (p. 8). He does not seem to be concerned with the possibility of doctrinal compliance. The lengthy bibliography leads to other studies.
