If the suttas where the Buddha talks about rebirth of persons, then maybe his immediate audience was incapable of understanding a more advanced teaching. Anatta and rebirth are not contradictory, because phenomena are reborn, not selves.

FBM, can you quote those suttas about more advanced teachings where Buddha exposes that Anatta and rebirth are not contradictory? Maybe this can give some light into the discussion.
