Reincarnation

Fiction

“Michael Lowis’s fast-paced speculative narrative convincingly links the modern and ancient worlds, and the adventures of Mel/Melchizedek lead us to engage with a range of fascinating philosophical, religious, and spiritual questions. Although Lowis wears his scholarship lightly, it underpins everything in his novel, from the practicalities of living (and ruling) in Old Testament times to the nature of the soul and the possibility of reincarnation. A challenging and stimulating read.”
