Jeffery D. Long is Professor of Religion and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College, in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, where he has taught since receiving his PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 2000. He is the editor, most recently, of the volume Perspectives on Reincarnation: Hindu, Christian, and Scientific, as well as the co-editor of the Buddhism and Jainism volumes of the Encyclopedia of Indian Religions. He is also the author of numerous scholarly articles and three books, A Vision for Hinduism; Jainism: An Introduction; and the Historical Dictionary of Hinduism (which will soon be published in a second edition). He is in the process of publishing two more books, Hinduism in America: A Convergence of Worlds and Indian Philosophy: An Introduction. Last summer, he received the Hindu American Foundation’s Dharma Seva Award for his efforts to ensure more accurate and culturally sensitive presentations of Hindu traditions in the American education system. In this, our second interview with Jeffery, we spoke almost exclusively about reincarnation. Learn more about Jeffery Long here: https://www.etown.edu/depts/religious-studies/faculty.aspx
