By Mary Farrow Every time Christians recite the Apostles’ Creed, they affirm their belief in what will happen to them after death: “ I believe in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.” The belief in the resurrection of one’s physical body at the end of time is central to Christian theology, and finds its basis in the resurrection of Christ, who rose in body and soul three days after his passion and death. But according to a 2018 Pew survey, 29% of Christians in the U.S. hold the New Age belief of reincarnation - the belief that when one’s body dies, one’s soul lives on in a new and different body, unrelated to the first.
