Kara Nicole Slade is Associate Rector of Trinity Church in Princeton and Canon Theologian of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey.
"Here you will find a deep, thoughtful presentation of time through
the lens of faith in God as grounded in the person and teachings of
Jesus Christ. Drawing on the wisdom of great thinkers like
Kierkegaard and Barth, scholar-priest Kara Slade deftly leads us
through beginnings and endings, through times between and beyond,
ultimately to find ourselves called, as she says, first 'to our
knees, and then to our feet.'"
--Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and
author of Love Is the Way: Holding on to Hope in Troubling
Times
"How shall we think about time, that universal yet most elusive of
human experiences? In The Fullness of Time, Kara Slade provides a
useful therapy against certain Big Idea concepts of time: Big
History, Big Science, Big Globalizaton. Taking Søren Kierkegaard
and Karl Barth as her guides, she helps us imagine what it might
mean to inhabit time as healed in Jesus Christ. Besides being
beautifully written, this is a work of rare wisdom and theological
insight."
--Joseph Mangina, Professor of Systematic Theology, Wycliffe
College
"Theological discussions of time can show us theology at its driest
and least engaging, where a grounding in analytic philosophy or
physics can do the style no favors. In sharpest contrast, Kara
Slade's Fullness of Time is as lively and engaging a discussion of
time as we could desire. She manages to be both lyrical and
provocative, both erudite and practical, and as grounded in the
theological tradition (especially through Kierkegaard and Barth) as
she is alert to the mood and needs of our times."
--Andrew Davison, Starbridge Senior Lecturer in Theology and
Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge
