Is time a creation of God? How can God be considered eternal, if he
is responsible for the existence of time? Is God temporal or is he
timeless? The relationship between God and time has been an object
of inquiry in philosophical and theological traditions around the
world for centuries. This volume takes up these and other
questions, presenting a range of answers not only as brought forth
in European philosophical traditions and in early Christianity,
Judaism and Islam, but also positions taken by mediaeval Indian
theologians and in the influential traditions of early Buddhism.
Traditionally, discussions have focused on questions such as
whether time is a necessary concomitant of God's existence, or
whether time should be identified with God. But there is a further
question: did these traditions develop their own unrelated and
independent view of God and time? Or are there similarities in
their reflections? This volume, with contributions of scholars from
various relevant fields, offers a novel approach to these
inquiries. When taken as a whole, it provides new momentum to
contemplation on an age-old enigma.
