The Western Doctrine of Reincarnation. A Critique From the Point of View of Catholic Theology

Focusing on the Christian perspective, this seminar paper presents a thoughtful exploration of faith in relation to the doctrines of reincarnation found in Hinduism and Buddhism. Rather than confront these beliefs, the author aims to affirm and clarify the essence of Christian faith, which has faced skepticism in contemporary society. The paper seeks to engage with comparative religion studies while promoting a respectful dialogue about differing spiritual beliefs, emphasizing a constructive and positive approach to understanding Christianity.
