What is Time? Philosophical and Eucharistic Insights

This paper takes the models of time, A-theory and B-theory, from the work of J. E. McTaggart and considers them in relation to the understanding of time implied by the Eucharist. It is suggested that neither theory is able to respond to both the anamnetic and eschatological pulls of the liturgy.
