Abstract

Entitled Reincarnation spiritism and Christianity: a study from Boaventura Kloppenburg, this work deals with the theme of reincarnation spiritism Kardecist front matrix to Christianity in Brazil. This theme which is portrayed due to the percentage increase in the doctrine of supporters in the country according to Brazilian Institute of Geographic - IBGE data. Kardecism postulates that later Christianity to the early period is a corruption of the truth revealed by Jesus Christ, and this affirmed and defended, as well as the early Christians, reincarnation and his doctrine. Exposing, they call themselves followers of Christ. The academic part seeks to show theologically after historical-critical exploration of spiritualism, which aspects of soteriology self redeeming spiritualism and heteroredentora of Christianity, along with possible concepts of reincarnation and resurrection of the flesh from Jesus Christ, are important to highlight that reincarnationism and be a Christian terms are mutually exclusive and irreconcilable. The works of Kloppenburg are as a starting point for developing a study on the subject and achieving the greater objective of exposing the differences between the reincarnationist spiritualism and Christianity, for the demonstrative purpose that they are irreconcilable doctrines in the same person. According to Reincarnationist spiritualism, true Christianity is lived among them. In view of the affirmation practiced by the Spiritists, the present purpose of this approach is to explain that spiritualism can not, for the same historical and theological reasons, be taken over by Christianity, or a species of it, even if its adherents say so.
