Christian and Islamic Philosophies of Time [Hardback] by Sotiris Mitralexis, Georgios Steiris, Dionysios Skliris, Mohammad Basil Altaie, Smilen Markov, Sergey Trostyanskiy, Mohamed Haj Yousef, Sotiris Mitralexis, Marcin Podbielski

"There are many texts on the common concepts of philosophy and science such as God, universe and man. But not so much on time as complementary to all of them. In Christian and Islamic Philosophies of Time, Sotiris Mitralexis and Marcin Podbielski bring together different perspectives on time based on Christian/Byzantine and Islamic/Arabic thought. Through the concept of time this book not only demonstrates how time bridges Ancient Greece and Medieval Europe but also the Christian and Islamic worlds. Even contemporary debates on time have a lot to learn from this rich, timeless experience".

"This is an elegant, and interesting, execution of a fascinating set of research questions. The editors’ particular approach has notable comparative and sociological implications: if the Church (East-West/Orthodox-Catholic) is heading toward reconciliation and communion, this text will be an important voice of not only Systematic/Comparative academic theology, but also for inter-religious dialogue with Islam and ecumenism across denominations."
