ABSTRACT
This chapter features thought experiments, discussion questions and further readings on god and time. Discussions of God are frequently very abstract and complex in the philosophical literature. So when it comes to discussing God's relationship to time, things can often get pretty difficult. The chapter notes that God is to be regarded as a maximally perfect being and tries to work out what God's relationship is with time. After all, God is described as undergoing change: taking form, speaking to followers, and so on. The thought experiment here is intended as an analogue for the case involving God. This might make it tempting to revisit the other options perhaps we can come to terms with the slightly mysterious claim that God is to be viewed as outside time. If God is engaged in activities that take time, it is very hard to see that He can properly be said to be outside time and timeless.
