In Salvation in the Block Universe, Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst explores the relationship between time, spacetime, and the Christian doctrine of salvation. She offers both a focused treatment of a particular problem – the problem of salvation in the block universe – and a broader exploration of a theological methodology that makes 'science and religion' not only possible but desirable. By bringing time and salvation into dialogue, Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst's original insights move the conversation between Theology and the Natural Sciences forward into new and productive territory. Qureshi-Hurst also provides tools for other theologians and philosophers to do the same. Essential reading for anyone interested in the interactions between philosophy, religion, and science, she asks: without the reality of change, is personal salvation during one's lifetime even possible?
