“What is time? Did it have a beginning? Will it ever end? These are profound questions that have been asked by serious thinkers over the centuries. Both philosophers and theologians have offered dynamic worldviews to accommodate new facts and ideas about time and change. Because of its elusiveness, time still challenges those individuals who strive to understand and appreciate the flux of reality and the pervasive influence of time on all objects and events within it.” Edited by H. James Birx, this encyclopedia surveys those major facts, con­cepts, theories, and speculations that infuse our pres­ent comprehension of time. Its inclusive orientation recognizes the contributions of not only scientists and philosophers, but also theologians and creative artists from various fields.
