RT Book T1 God and time T2 Cambridge elements. Elements in the philosophy of religion A1 Deng, Natalja 1981- LA English PP Cambridge PB Cambridge University Press YR 2019 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1066769591 AB The God of Western religion is said to be eternal. But what does that mean? Is God somehow beyond time, living a life that does not involve one thing after another? Or is God's relationship to time much more like ours, so that God's eternality just consists in there being no time at which God doesn't exist? Even for non-believers, these issues have interesting implications for the relation between historical and scientific findings on the one hand, and religion on the other. This Element introduces the reader to the requisite metaphysical background, and then examines reasons for and against thinking of God as timeless NO Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 11 Dec 2018) CN BT153.I47 SN 9781108653176 K1 God (Christianity) : Eternity K1 Time : Religious aspects : Christianity K1 God (Christianity) ; Eternity K1 Time ; Religious aspects ; Christianity DO 10.1017/9781108653176
