  1. The Question What is reincarnation? Not as a fantasy trope or a casual metaphor — but as a serious spiritual claim: That life continues after death, not in heaven or hell, but in another body, another form, another chapter. 2. The Human Angle You meet someone who says they remember a past life. You hear a child speak of things they couldn’t possibly know. You feel a strange familiarity with a place you’ve never been. And you wonder: Is this coincidence? Memory? Imagination? Or is it something deeper — a soul’s echo? 3.

  New reviews on Amazon for Arthur Yavelberg's awardwinning book, A Theology for the Rest of Us . Ilene writes: Interesting read. Whether the reader agrees, disagrees, or chooses to ponder the ideas, the author offers engaging food for thought. Bob Martin writes:  In times, when so many of us are re-examining the theology that we grew up with, and trying to apply it to an ever more complex world, the author lays out a step-by-step explanation of the divine that brings together a lot of disparate thoughts, and makes them blend together.
