This book is a thorough analysis and discussion of the nature of time
and eternity, focusing on the timelessness of God. After considering two
theories of time in the light of modern science and philosophy, Padgett
argues for a 'process' notion of time. After an historical and biblical
survey of the doctrine of eternity, Padgett rejects both the
'everlasting' and the 'timeless' theory of eternity, seeking to defend
the intuition that God transcends time.
