Description

The eternal God has created the universe. And that universe is time-bound. How are we able to best consider God’s relationship with our time-bound universe? As an example, does God experience Each and every moment of time in succession or are all times present to God? How we bring to mind God and time has implications for our understanding of the nature of time, the creation of the universe, God’s knowledge of the future, God’s interaction with his creation and the fullness of God’s life. On this book, four notable philosophers skillfully take in this difficult topic–all writing from within a Christian framework yet contending for different views. Paul Helm argues that divine eternity will have to be construed as a state of absolute timelessness. Alan G. Padgett maintains that God’s eternity is more plausibly to be understood as relative timelessness. William Lane Craig presents a hybrid view that combines timelessness with omnitemporality. And Nicholas Wolterstorff advocates a doctrine of unqualified divine temporality. Each and every essay is followed by responses from the other three contributors and a final counter-response from the original essayist, making for a full of life exchange of ideas. Editor Gregory E. Ganssle provides a helpful introduction to the debate and its significance. Together these five scholars conduct readers on a stimulating and mind-stretching journey into probably the most controversial and challenging areas of theology as of late.
