Résumé :
|
The chapters of this book are sermonic essays elaborating one theme in various aspects. The theme is Christianity's dialectical conception of the relation of time and eternity, of God and the world, of nature and grace. It is the thesis of these pages that the biblical view of life is dialectical because it affirms the meaning of history and of man's natural existence on the one hand, and on the other insists that the centre, source and fulfilment of history lie beyond history.
Christianity must therefore speak both a "yes" and a "no" to naturalistic philosophies. It affirms them inasfar es they insist on the meaningfulness of historical existence. It refutes them inasfar as (they believe that the temporal process explains and fulfils itself. In the same way it affirms the distinction between time and eternity in mysticism, and rational dualistic philosophies, but rejects theirs denial of the signifiance of the historical process. In the biblical view each moment of history stands under and in eternity but neither exhausts nor fulfils the eternal.
