This volume takes up the challenge implied in Augustine's paradox of time: How does one account for the continuity of history and the certitude of memory, if time, in the guise of an indivisible "now," cuts off any extension of the present? The thinkers and artists the essays address include Augustine, Abelard, Eriugena and Thoreau, Calvin, Shakespeare, De Rancé, Stravinsky and Messiaen, Rubens and Woolf.

Babette Hellemans is Assistant Professor of Medieval History at the University of Groningen.

Willemien Otten is Professor of Theology and the History of Christianity at the University of Chicago Divinity School.
