'Leading analytic philosophers are featured in this beautifully organized exploration of the range of positions and issues that link God, eternity, and time. Each chapter carefully analyzes a different dimension of the topic, seeking tight arguments rather than vague speculations. The richness of the discussion is good evidence that eternity is a timeless question'. Philip Clayton, Claremont School of Theology , USA 'God, Eternity, and Time is an outstanding collection of essays exploring God's relation to time, bringing together a distinguished group of philosophers of religion and philosophical theologians...' Journal of Theological Studies '... this is an important collection of essays on divine eternality, and a must-read for those who are invested in this topic.' Themelios '[These essays] show that the tools of the analytic philosopher are among the most valuable for exploring the nature of God. Perhaps the lasting contribution of this book is to highlight this value.' The Thomist 'Tapp and Runggaldier have produced a stimulating... collection that should be required reading for postgraduates and specialists researching divine eternity, divine timelessness, and related fields.' Providence, Divine Action and the Church
