Quote by Padgett, A. G. (2001). Response to Nicholas Wolterstorff

“While I agree with Nick that God has a history, I deny that God’s time can be measured by our space-time. Instead space-time is created by God. This implies that God is beyond the space-time of our universe. So Nick is wrong to suggest that theologians are interested in a timeless God simply because they believe God cannot change in any way. Just as important, I believe, is the idea of time as a created category of existence. I am seeking here to honor the intuition, shared by many if not most traditional theologians over the centuries, that God must in some sense transcend time since he created time.”
