Editorial Reviews

Review

Fascinating and moving to read. . . . Filled with encouragement, with the extraordinary eloquence of poetry, myth and religion . . . A massive encyclopedic gathering from the religions of both East and West, from science, psychology, philosophy. --Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times

The book is not intended as a polemic but rather as an invitation to an inward journey. . . . No other single source approaches this in scope of contents. --Choice Magazine, American Library Association

I read every page of this magnificent book. It is a superb piece of work. Easily the finest and most comprehensive on this subject. --Rev. Leslie D. Weatherhead, former President of the Methodist Conference of Great Britain

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bedside Book for the rest of your life.
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
It surprised me. I bought the book because it was recommended by a mystic in the 60's and a dear friend and co-meditator, wanted it, so I bought it for our group.

As I opened the hard cover and leafed through the thin, onion-skin-like pages, I was drawn into what felt like the adventure of lifetime, of exploration and discovery. What a brilliant and lovingly selected collection of writings. Struggling plenty with this lifetime, I've not engaged deeply in past ones, figuring if I'm dealing with it now, I'm dealing with it now. But this is no ya-ya, new age, Cloud 9 excuse for who we are, it is not only a scholarly, contemplative, and thorough approach to the subject of reincarnation through a wide range of voices, but more so, a study of what is precious in Man, and the Infinite nature of Life as it IS, expressing Itself in endless variety and color over eternity.

This is the kind of remedy to have near-by, especially on dark sleepless nights, it is uplifting and inspiring.

The Phoenix Fire Mystery is a compillation about major religions and what their viewpoint in reincarnation is. It is very well written, not boring, but directed towards the educated reader in this subject. Reccommended for those who already have read something about reincarnation and are looking for deep knowledge rather than trivial viewpoints.

love this book, it is huge, but interesting. Lots in information on world religions. Takes a while to read, I still haven't finished the book after having it for a long time. It is easy to read, it is just a lot of information to digest.

5.0 out of 5 stars An encyclopaedia of reincarnation
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2017
Verified Purchase
Excellent compendium on this subject covering a large, comprehensive spectrum. Can become tough going on occasion. The best approach may be to treat it like an encyclopaedia and read whatever takes your interest when dipping in rather than reading from start to finish. It is difficult to assess the cogency of sections where one has little familiarity with the cultural or religious background. What I can say is that much of the material from Christian sources supposedly supporting reincarnation is really stretching it a lot. Still, much of the book is informative and thought provoking. A more serious and scientific analysis, rather than a compendium, may be found in Reincarnation by Hans Ten Dam, though many may find that tough going and dry-as-dust.

4.0 out of 5 stars A standard text.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2010
Verified Purchase
This book is incredibly comprehensive in its coverage of reincarnation, as it summarises the views of religions, philosophers and literary folk who have endorsed it.
There are more famous names than you would believe are covered by this book. It is exhaustive.
You could hardly want for a better tome to dip into. Its harder to read from cover to cover, however, since it is not a light read by any standard.
I was looking particularly for evidence-based support for reincarnation which it mentioned, Dr Ian Stevenson for example, but it wasn't so thorough at that.
Nonetheless I'd recommend this for the book shelf of anyone interested in this area who likes the philosophical angle.
