 Encyclopedia: The Transmigration of Timothy Archer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Set in the late 1960s and 1970s, the story describes the efforts of Episcopalian Bishop Timothy Archer, who must cope with the theological and philosophical implications of the newly-discovered Gnostic Zadokite scroll fragments.
The character of Bishop Archer is loosely based on the controversial iconoclastic Episcopalian Bishop James Pike, who in 1969 died of exposure while exploring the Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

 Review of Philip K. Dick's The Transmigration of Timothy Archer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Timothy Archer himself died in the desert of Israel, searching for evidence of his own theories of the nature of Christ.
I loved the scene where Timothy Archer is arguing a metaphysical point, using an analogy to a car, and Bill Lundborg (Kirsten's son) takes the entire exercise on the literal level (129).
The Transmigration of Timothy Archer was not published until after Dick's death, but he lived to see its acceptance by a publisher, making it the first mainstream novel with that honour during his life (not counting VALIS for the moment).

 Philip K. Dick
Dick was also a voracious reader of works on religion, philosophy, metaphysics, and Gnosticism, and these ideas found their way into many of his stories.
His final novel was The Transmigration of Timothy Archer.
Most of Dick's novels are very accessible and make quick reading; a few, however, most notably his final trilogy (VALIS, The Divine Invasion, and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer), were inspired by his VALIS experience and involve religious material some readers find dense and inscrutable.

The Transmigration of Timothy Archer is the third book of four that make up PKD's VALIS series.
Although the story is about Tim Archer, the entire story is told from her point of view.
That goes especially for Timothy Archer himself, who is so longwinded and didactic that he couldn't possibly find anyone to talk to in real life.

In part 3 of the VALIS trilogy, Timothy Archer is an urbane Episcopal bishop haunted by the suicide of his son and his mistress.

For the stultifying San Francisco street scene through the corridors of human thought, Bishop Timothy Archer, alcoholic lawyer turned powerful religious head, leads his son Jeffrey, his daughter-in-law Angel, his pill-popping mistress and a cast of pained and passed-by 60s survivors on a madcap search for the ultimate Truth.

 Dick: "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Like VALIS, it is about a real person, James A. Pike (fictionalized as Timothy Archer), the radical Episcopalian bishop from the San Francisco Bay Area who died under mysterious circumstances in the North African desert.
Bishop Archer, like Dick himself, is a brilliant man whose obsessive metaphysical concerns blind him to everyday realities.
Powers' cover for Timothy Archer illustrates in deceptively simple cruciform design its themes of Death - the Bishop's face fading into a skull - and Resurrection - the figure of a woman shining within the cross-sectioned bone marrow, a figure which readers of Dick will immediately associate with the Gnostic goddess, Sophia.

TToTA: Chapter 2 Tim Archer orders a glass of wine with Angel and Jeff, but in the first page of chapter 4 Angel states that he is in AA and sober.
Well the basic premise of it is that Angel sort of = Tim, the transmigration of the title refers to that, the soul's movement.
I do agree with you about how odd it was that Jeff's death in Transmigration seemed glossed over - however, as the book moved on, I began to see it more of an inability of the narrator to deal with the tragedy, rather than the author 'forgetting' or deciding not to focus on it.

Indeed, its very core reflects the Bible's condemnation of pride proceeding the fall, mixed with the emotional tenderness that Mary must have felt when she witnessed her sons death from pursuing his ideals.

 The Transmigration of Timothy Archer
TTA has very little to do with either Valis or the Divine Invasion, despite it supposedly being the third in the Valis Trilogy.
The main character, Angel Archer, is one of PKD's best, and truly the best woman ever to inhabit a PKD novel.
The best aspect of TTA is the characters: Archer Archer especially, but also Edgar Barefoot.

This becomes apparent when Barefoot tells Angel Archer (the narrator) she has the same affliction that the Bishop unknowingly endured during his lifetime ('Flatus vocis' - or 'empty noise').
Apparently, Dick himself felt the need to justify the events in his life (such as the early death of his twin sister Jane) in much broader temporal/religious/cosmological terms.
Like Pike, Bishop Timothy Archer is a seeker for truth who questions...

The Bishop in the book also interprets passages in these documents as referencing a psychedelic mushroom (called anokhi) which this sect may have taken, and this was the origin of the Christian sacrament of the eucharist.

 Philip K. Dick Book Reviews
VALIS, THE DIVINE INVASION, THE TRANSMIGRATION OF TIMOTHY ARCHER
"VALIS," an unsettling semi-autobiographical novel, launches Dick's so-called "VALIS trilogy," continued (in theme, if not in story) in "The Divine Invasion" and "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer." "VALIS" is an altogether unsettling and gorgeous novel that transcends genre, constituting a cybernetic gospel that's as outrageous as it is moving.
The third book in the "VALIS" sequence, "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer" is a many-leveled and compelling exploration of faith and truth, friendship and loss, illusion and reality: a unique read that witnesses Dick tearing down the barriers between genres.
