Description
Salvation in the Block Universe offers a groundbreaking examination of how contemporary physics informs theological understanding. Emily Qureshi-Hurst and Alister McGrath investigate the implications of block universe theory—the physics view that past, present, and future coexist equally in a four-dimensional spacetime—for Christian theology and the concept of salvation.
Drawing on Paul Tillich’s existential theology, the authors explore how transformation and salvation can be understood within a framework where time functions fundamentally differently than our intuitive experience suggests. They address crucial questions about divine action, human freedom, and spiritual transformation in light of modern cosmological models.
This interdisciplinary work bridges physics, philosophy, and theology, offering insights relevant to both academic and thoughtful general readers seeking to understand how contemporary science intersects with religious faith and the possibility of human transformation.
