Opis

Time is a matrix that binds man with God as well as acting as a temporal veil shielding Him from view. Understanding the nature of the veil and the implications of its piercing enables a strengthening of faith. The establishment of a spiritual relationship with God is facilitated by emphasizing its rationality. The gamut between faith and reason is spanned lightly but with reflection. Examples are humor as a manipulation of time and salvation as an atemporal event. Theological positions are avoided although theological implications of an atemporal God are addressed. References range from St. Augustine to Tom Clancy; Stephen Hawking to Mortimer Adler; Martin Heidegger to C.S. Lewis.
