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.

"Christianity claims that the incarnation provides reliable knowledge about God but also that the incarnation was undertaken freely and thus need not have happened. This book resolves this tension between epistemological reliability and divine freedom, building particularly from the work of Karl Barth. The author offers a fresh reading of the Church Dogmatics that demonstrates how Barth's theology provides a promising starting point but notes that his argument is ultimately undermined by the doctrine of eternity within which it is framed. The author overcomes this issue by showing how the promising motifs employed by Barth can be authentically derived from the classical doctrine of eternity instead. In so doing, this work shows that reading classical eternity against a Barthian background also serves to draw out a more temporal interpretation of the doctrine than its contemporary characterization, reclaiming it as a viable Christian understanding of God's relationship to time." --

« Le livre que nous présentons ici au lecteur français est héritier des évolutions opérées dans la réflexion sur le temps au cours des derniers siècles. Il reprend cette réflexion dans une perspective théologique. Le lien établi entre la question du temps et la logique de la modernité indique l'orientation de l'ouvrage. Il ne s'agit pas de privilégier l'aspect spéculatif de cette question, mais son incidence sur l'existence concrète des hommes et des femmes. Attentif aux interrogations soulevées par la postmodernité, et inspirées par la recherche de Ricœur – en particulier dans "Temps et récit" –, le problème temporel est étudié à partir de la narrativité. Cependant, à la différence des théologiens qui ont proposé pareille démarche, nous n'avons pas commencé par la lecture narrative des écrits bibliques ni par l'analyse des principaux traits des récits qui ont donné naissance au monde moderne. Nous partons de quelques textes qui racontent notre propre culture, la culture brésilienne, proposant ensuite d'entendre la narration des Ecritures. Nous croyons que ce type de procédé nous offre non seulement une façon d'inculturer notre propre réflexion, mais aussi un moyen de la partager avec d'autres, la rendant passible d'universalisation justement par sa particularité. [...] Il ne reste donc plus au lecteur qu'à entreprendre cette lecture théologique du temps. Notre souhait est que ce qui est ici proposé puisse susciter d'autres tentatives d'interprétation d'une problématique qui, depuis toujours, a intrigué et fasciné tant d'hommes et de femmes, les aidant à donner sens à leurs existences et les remettant à l'Unique qui, les ayant faits temporels, les a appelés à trouver dans le temps des raisons pour parvenir à la plénitude. » (G. Luiz de Mori)
