ABSTRACT
I Quid est ergo tempus? Se nemo ex me quaerat. scio; si quaerenti explicare velim. nescio. Confessions, XI.14.
Generally, solutions to the question of God's relation to the temporal order must choose among two pairs of concepts. God may exist either atemporally or temporally, and time may be either static or dynamic. While the details of these solutions will be presented in Chapters 5 through 8, a brief survey at this point will be helpful.
