he present volume is part of a larger project, which is the attempt to
draft a T coherent doctrine of divine eternity and God's relationship
to time. In my God, l Time, and Eternity, I argued that whether one
construes divine eternity in terms of timelessness or of
omnitemporality will depend'''crucially upon one's views about the
objectivity of tensed facts and temporal becoming. If one adopts a
tensed, or in McTaggart's terminology, an A-Theory of time, then a
coherent doctrine of divine eternity requires that one construe God,
at least since the moment of creation, to exist temporally, which
implies that divine timelessness can be successfully maintained only
if a tenseless or B-Theory of time is correct. Accordingly in my
companion volumes The Tensed Theory of Time: a Critical Examination
and The Tenseless Theory of Time: a Critical Examination I set for
myself. the task of 2 adjudicating the A- vs. B-Theory of time. In the
former volume; r examine arguments for and against the A-Theory of
time, and in the latter l' tum to an examination of arguments for and
against the B-Theory. This inquiry tookme into a study of relativity
theory,. its presuppositions and implications. The paucity of
integrative literature dealing with the concept of. God and·
relativity theory is striking.
