- Summary
- Modern evolutionary theory contradicts an almost universal assumtion in Western Christian though: a pre-Christian, largely platonic or Aristotelian, cyclic concept of time. This is causing distress for all Christians still holding it. But the fact of evolution gives a solid base to a Hebraic, linear concept of time now being revitalized by biblical scholars. Here is a clear, concise and authoritative introduction to this contemporary crisis for the non-specialist reader.
