Transfiguring Time
Understanding Time in the Light of the Orthodox Tradition
Book • 2019
Transfiguring Time is Olivier Clément's early and influential work that examines the nature and purpose of time from an Orthodox Christian perspective.
Written when Clément was 37, the book reflects his fresh encounter with Orthodoxy and integrates deep theological insights, including personalism and eschatology.
It contrasts the Christian understanding of time with archaic and cyclic religious views, emphasizing the transformative power of the Incarnation and the eschaton.
The book includes philosophical reflections, biblical exegesis, and liturgical-poetic elements, drawing on the neo-patristic renaissance and thinkers like Vladimir Lossky to articulate how time is intimately connected to personhood, salvation history, and the ultimate fulfillment in eternity.
