When Einstein destroyed the old view of the universe, he destroyed the old notion of time with it. His new theory explained that time is a dimension of the physical cosmos like space, and like space it is relative. This collection of essays by theologians, physicists, and philosophers explores the theoretical aspects of the problem of time and its implications for faith and the understanding of God.

What God Knows is a helpful way to enter the discussion concerning God's relation to time. These essays, written by theologians, scientists and philosophers, represent the range of views about the nature of time and of God's eternal nature, yet they are uniformly accessible. The reader will gain a secure handle on the nuances of the debate about what and when God knows what God knows.
