Time and Eternity Summary
|
What is time? Is there a link between objective knowledge about time and subjective experience of time? And what is eternity? Does religion have the answer? Does science? Internationally known scholar Antje Jackelén investigates the problem and concept of time. Her study draws on her experiences in the Continental- European science and religion dialogue, with a particular focus on the German, Scandinavian, and Anglo-American dialogues. Her analysis of the subject includes: The notion of time and eternity as it is narrated through Christian hymn books stemming from Germany, Sweden, and the English-speaking world, with insights into changes of the concept and understanding of time in Christian spirituality over the past few decades Theological approaches to time and eternity, as well as a look at Trinitarian theology and its relation to time The discussion of scientific theories of time, including Newtonian, relativistic, quantum, and chaos theories The formulation of a “theology of time,” a theological-mathematical model incorporating relational thinking oriented towards the future, the doctrine of trinity, and the notion of eschatology Previously published in Swedish and German editions, this is the first English translation. About the Author: Antje Jackelén is the director of the Zygon Center for Religion and Science at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago, where she also teaches systematic theology with a specialization in religion and science. Dr. Jackelén came to the United States in 2001 from Sweden, where she had been a pastor in the Church of Sweden since 1980. A founding member of the International Society for Religion and Science (ISSR), she serves on the board of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), the board of directors for the Metanexus Institute on Religion and Science, the editorial advisory board of the journal Theology and Science, and the editorial council of Dialog: A Journal of Theology.
