Christ and Time
Book • 1950
In 'Christ and Time,' Oscar Cullmann explores the relationship between time and salvation in early Christian thought.
Cullmann argues that the New Testament presents a linear view of time, with Christ's crucifixion and resurrection serving as the pivotal point in history.
He introduces the concept of 'Heilsgeschichte' (salvation history) to describe God's redemptive plan unfolding through time.
The book emphasizes the significance of Christ as the center of history, influencing both the past and the future.
Cullmann's analysis challenges cyclical views of time and highlights the unique, transformative nature of Christian eschatology.
The work has been influential in shaping modern theological understandings of time, history, and the person of Jesus Christ.
