In Becoming Friends of Time, John Swinton crafts a theology of time
that draws us toward a perspective wherein time is a gift and a
calling. Time is not a commodity nor is time to be mastered. Time
is a gift of God to humans, but is also a gift given back to God by
humans. Swinton wrestles with critical questions that emerge from
theological reflection on time and disability: rethinking doctrine
for those who can never grasp Jesus with their intellects;
reimagining discipleship and vocation for those who have forgotten
who Jesus is; reconsidering salvation for those who, due to
neurological damage, can be one person at one time and then be
someone else in an instant. In the end, Swinton invites the reader
to spend time with the experiences of people with profound
neurological disability, people who can change our perceptions of
time, enable us to grasp the fruitful rhythms of God's time, and
help us learn to live in ways that are unimaginable within the
boundaries of the time of the clock.
