Robert John Russell is the Ian G. Barbour Professor of Theology and Science in Residence at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. He is the author or co-editor of seventeen books, including Cosmology From Alpha To Omega: Theology and Science in Creative Mutual Interaction and Resurrection: Theological And Scientific Assessments. He is also the founder and director of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences.
"Using his distinctive method of relating science and theology by
'Creative Mutual Interaction,' Robert Russell explores an immense
range of contemporary thought about the Big Bang, relativity,
quantum physics, creation, and eschatology, leading to many
intriguing suggestions for future research. This will be a model
for future writers to emulate." —Ian G. Barbour, author of When
Science Meets Religion
"Time in Eternity bridges the fields of philosophical theology,
systematic theology, and the science-religion debate. It makes a
distinctive and original contribution to the field of theology and
science, as well as being significant for scholars and students in
the other two disciplines. The book not only meets high standards
for scholarship in this field; it actually sets new standards for
future work." —Philip Clayton, Claremont School of Theology
"Robert Russell is the world's leading scholar on relating issues
surrounding the resurrection of Jesus, such as prolepsis and
eschatology, to physics and cosmology, and I imagine this book will
be well received throughout the science and religion community and
beyond. In Time in Eternity, Russell engages more fully with
Pannenberg than ever before. He has also expanded his work on the
way physical cosmology can be enhanced by engaging theological
issues. This is the most important book on Pannenberg, physics, and
eschatology to date." —LeRon Shults, University of Agder
“This is a solid work of scholarship that provides a creative and
important contribution. The amount of learning, understanding, and
depth of research in both theology and physics is impressive.
Future scholars interested in God, time, and eternity, or looking
for a solid example of theology and science in mutual interaction,
will want to study it carefully.” —Perspectives on Science and
Christian Faith
“This book is impressive for its breadth as well as the author’s
solid knowledge in both Pannenberg’s theology and science. . . . In
illustrating theological concepts with scientific theories, it
makes theology seem more sensible and credible in a scientific
age.” —Reviews in Religion and Theology
“Time in Eternity is the first book-length exposition of Russell’s
approach to the ‘creative mutual interaction’ between theology and
the natural sciences. This approach first calls for a reformulation
of theology in light of science and then for the delineation of
possible topics for research in science drawing on this
reformulated theology.” —Interpretation: Journal of Bible and
Theology
