Does God watch time pass, or see it whole? If God is timeless, is your future already fixed? And if He is not, how is He God?
Resolving Time & Eternity presents a step-by-step, analytic pathway through the philosophy of time that invites rigorous evaluation of Frame-Indexed Classical Theism (FICT). Each definition is explicit, each inference is shown, and every conclusion on God and time is grounded in Scripture (Sola Scriptura).
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How God's absolute timeless eternity coheres with real human temporal experience, without weakening divine transcendence or the reality of time's flow.
- A direct resolution of McTaggart's Paradox: where his 1908 argument for the unreality of time equivocates, and why both A-series and B-series survive once frame-indexed.
- How divine timelessness fits the rest of classical theism (divine simplicity, immutability, impassibility, aseity) instead of sitting awkwardly beside it.
- What frame-indexing does to divine foreknowledge: how Calvinism, Arminianism, and Molinism each mislocate the problem, and why middle knowledge becomes unnecessary.
- How the relativity of simultaneity in Special Relativity integrates with Augustine, Boethius, and Aquinas in one testable framework.
- Focused engagement with eternalism, presentism, the growing block, the moving spotlight, open theism, process theology, William Lane Craig's hybrid view, Stump and Kretzmann's ET-simultaneity, and R. T. Mullins's case against divine timelessness.
WHAT IS FRAME-INDEXED CLASSICAL THEISM?
FICT holds that the classic dilemmas of theology are not unsolvable mysteries but artifacts of one formal error: predicating terms like "present" and "eternal" univocally across the divine and human frames, when a being's nature fixes its frame of apprehension. Index each term to its frame and the contradiction dissolves. Applied to time, the A-series and the B-series are both true, each of a different frame.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
If you have read the multi-view collections on God and time and come away with four essays talking past each other rather than a position argued through, this was written for you.
- Christians who have wondered what "eternal" actually means. What happens to prayer and prophecy under each answer?
- Apologists who need a real response to "if God already knows what you'll choose, your choice is an illusion."
- Readers drawn in by the physics. Presentism vs. the block universe, and relativity's challenge to a universal "now."
- Pastors, teachers, and students who want a doctrine of eternity they can teach and defend line by line.
- Philosophers and academics who want definitions stated, inferences shown, and conclusions open to refutation on the merits.
THE MANY BEINGS FRAMEWORK
One framework, six classic dilemmas: free will and sovereignty (Book 1), the problem of evil (Book 2), time and eternity (Book 3), immutability and interaction (Book 4), infinity and creation (Book 5), and relativity and the divine frame (Book 6). Each volume reads standalone, and Book 1's Kindle edition is free.
This is a formal argument, not a devotional treatment: expect stated definitions, shown inferences, and engagement with the primary literature. 34 chapters in three parts.
