Emperor responsible for ban on rebirth doctrine In 553 AD the Emperor Justinius had teachings on reincarnation banned. "It seems reasonable to conclude that the so-called ban concerning the doctrine of reincarnation is the result of an historical error and contains no ecclesiastical authority whatsoever." The German author, Peter Andreas, expresses this point of view in his book, Jenseits von Einstein. Andreas gives attention to the concept of reincarnation and, particularly, to the manner in which any consideration of the topic was suppressed within the Catholic church — not by profound theological study, but by the action of a Roman Emperor.
