Online Taster Lesson (Systematic Theology)

Time is a significant issue in both natural sciences and religious thoughts. Not only time itself has attracted attentions of many scientists and religious thinkers, also it decides the way we look at other things.

In the Confessions, Augustine situates time within the divine order of creation, making it one of the most significant sources for later inquiries into physical and psychological time.

This lecture traces contemporary theories of time in theoretical physics and psychology back to Augustine’s understanding of the origin of time, aiming to achieve a new theological-hermeneutical “fusion of horizons.”
