"God is eternal" is a standard belief of all theistic religions.
But what does it mean? If, on the one hand, "eternal" means
timeless, how can God hear the prayers of the faithful at some
point of time? And how can a timeless God act in order to answer
the prayers? If God knows what I will do tomorrow from all
eternity, how can I be free to choose what to do? If, on the other
hand, "eternal" means everlasting, does that not jeopardize divine
majesty? How can everlastingness be reconciled with the traditional
doctrines of divine simplicity and perfection? An outstanding group
of American, UK, German, Austrian, and Swiss philosophers and
theologians discuss the problem of God's relation to time. Their
contributions range from analyzing and defending classical
conceptions of eternity (Boethius's and Aquinas's) to vindicating
everlastingness accounts, and from the foreknowledge problem to
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. This book tackles
philosophical questions that are of utmost importance for
Systematic Theology. Its highest aim is to deepen our understanding
of religious faith by surveying its relations to one of the most
fundamental aspects of reality: time.
