The Order of Reality: Sacred Time

$49.75

This series of lectures explores time within the biblical ritual world with a view to the complex history of our changing concepts of time, the ordering of time for humanity within Scripture in relation to the identity and works of God, the Christology of time in relation to biblical hermeneutics, marking time as a matter of faith, our experience of time in terms of delay and waiting/patience, and the role of faithfulness in time (especially the sabbath idea) in resisting oppression of others, reducing anxiety for ourselves, and advancing the Church’s identity in the present as an alternative community in which time is experienced deliberately and theologically.
