Sinopsis

One of the vital issues in contemporary Christian theology is the problem of a renewed understanding of God?s eternity and its relation to time. This is not merely a peripheral doctrinal issue, but lies at the heart of our understanding of God and humanity, and contributes to our entire worldview. This study focuses on a long-standing debate between two competing views on God?s eternity: one focused on God?s absolute timelessness in classical theism, and the other on God?s temporal everlastingness in contemporary panentheism. In contrast to both of these well-worn options, this book presents an alternative Trinitarian analogical understanding of God?s eternity and its relation to time, especially through a critical reflection on Karl Barth?s and Hans Urs von Balthasar?s engagement of the issue. This analogical approach, based on the dynamic and dramatic concepts of God?s being-in-relation and of the Triune God?s communicative action in eternity and time, has the potential to resolve the debate between absolute timeless eternity and temporal everlasting duration.
