The book develops an interdisciplinary basis, drawing on resources from historical theology, relativity and quantum mechanics, and the modern philosophy of time, to demonstrate the continued viability of the view that God transcends created time. God''s presence, knowledge, activity, and personhood, as well as the more general problem of fatalism, are commonly cited arguments against timelessness, yet these issues are demonstrably inconsequential or even resolved by a robust view of divine transcendence. Beyond Time engages readers with the fascinating question of time''s nature, in order to vindicate the historically orthodox view that God lives beyond time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his insightful defense of the temporal transcendence of God, [Sansbury][ reaches into his own background and makes forays into theology, philosophy, and science to make his case.  His last chapter stirs special interest and relevance as he probes the applications of divine temporal transcendence.  He makes the reader aware that the view of time and of God that he defends, taken seriously, may open deeper understanding of the Bible and call for some rewriting of theology, philosophy, and science and their relationships.  He hopes that his readers will \"enjoy the text\" and \"recognize the coherence and value of the doctrine of divine temporal transcendence.\" I believe this book will fulfill his hope. -- Charles S.
