In Counter-Clock World Philip K. Dick expands on the idea of time reversal that was developed in the story "Your Appointment Will Be Yesterday", where deceased people get back to life and grow younger and history is wiped out of books. The story follows a relegious leader that comes back to life.

Review of 'Counter-clock world' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Whilst certainly deep theologically, I cannot help but feel Dick's obsession with hallucinatory drugs simply ruins the whole thing.

The story was certainly interesting, I'd read fragments in another PKD short story before and I was reminded of what I think is a Heinlein story "what the dead men say". Could have gone further with less theologism and philosophising but for all that the the plot kept me reading.
