Zeit und Ewigkeit als Raum göttlichen Handelns - Religionsgeschichtliche, theologische und philosophische Perspektiven

The volume contains the papers from an international symposium held in 2007 by the Göttingen Graduate School on Images of Gods – Images of God – World Views: Polytheism and Monotheism in the Antique World. Working from the topic of Time and Eternity as Places of Divine Action, the contributors examine differing conceptions of time and eternity in a cultural region with intensive exchange. The papers deal with the Ancient Orient (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Iran), ancient philosophy (Aristotle, Plato, Stoa) and the three world religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
