Abstract
Description
In this exploration of the nature of time, the author shows that more than a superficial
belief in a creator God invites the person of faith to engage with some of the unsettling
questions presented by modern physics and cosmology. He considers how human beings
study and measure time, and he also treats how we experience time as creatures \"caught\" in its passage, and the emotions evoked by that experience. The various possible paths of the future of the universe are provocative subjects for theological treatment.
