This review is from: God and Time: Essays on the Divine Nature (Hardcover)
This is an excellent collection of essays on God and the philosophy of time. The editors did a great job at finding solid representatives of the various positions that philosophical theologians have and are currently defending. The various contributors seek to explore some of the following questions. Is God timeless? Is God temporal? What is time? Is time static or dynamic? Can an Incarnate God be timeless? Can a timeless God know what time it is now?
I should also mention that there are two essays that do not explicitly deal with God's relation to time. William Lane Craig's paper on the Special Theory of Relativity argues that Newton's concept of absolute time has not been done away with by Einstein. Quintin Smith's interesting essay is sort of an atheistic Kalam cosmological argument for the non-existence of God. This is not an introductory book, and I would not recommend it for students who do not have any previous knowledge about the issues discussed here. I would first recommend reading Ganssle's "Thinking About God", Thomas Morris' "Our Idea of God", or perhaps some other introduction to philosophy of religion before trying to work through this book. |
