    Description

    This podcast episode, dedicated to the recent edited volume "Christian Temporalities Living Between the Already Fulfilled and the Not Yet Completed" (Palgrave 2024) examines the significant impact of Christianity on our conceptualization of time. With three authors from Australia and Canada in our virtual studio, we discuss the relationship between the concepts of "already fulfilled" and "not yet completed," elucidating the manner in which this tension shapes Christian practices and beliefs. The episode examines the role of material practices and rituals in facilitating a connection between believers and the divine, as well as in creating experiences of timelessness. The podcast addresses eschatology and prophecy, particularly in relation to Orthodox Christianity, where the future profoundly shapes the present. It also addresses the challenges of reconciling divergent views on the "end times," the impact of technology on Christian communities' understanding of time, and the continued relevance of Christianity in a secular world.
