Justin Brierley is joined by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig and atheist theologian Emily Qureshi-Hurst to discuss the question: ‘Is Christian theism compatible with our best understanding of the nature of time?’

Craig defends the ‘A-Theory’ – that time flows from past, to present, to future. Qureshi-Hurst defends the ‘B-Theory’ – that all times exist at once. In a mind-expanding conversation, they discuss the implications of their different views for the nature of God and the doctrine of salvation in Christian faith, and how we should interpret the physics of spacetime!
