Publisher's Synopsis
Starting from the assumption that 'time is the horizon of the meaning of Being' (Heidegger), 'Eternal God/ Saving Time' attempts to discover what the central religious idea of eternity or of God as 'the Eternal' might mean today. Negotiating ideas of divine timelessness and sempiternity (everlastingness) as well as the attempts of some philosophers to develop the idea of a temporal God, Professor George Pattison surveys a range of positions from analytic philosophy and fromthe continental tradition from Spinoza through Hegel to the present.
