Salvation in the Block Universe by Emily Qureshi-Hurst

Salvation in the Block Universe by Emily Qureshi-Hurst

Does time really pass? Should theology mould itself to fit with the findings of physics and philosophy? How should the interdisciplinary dialogue between science and religion proceed? In Salvation in the Block Universe, Emily Qureshi-Hurst tackles these important questions head-on. She offers a focused treatment of a particular problem – the problem of salvation in the block universe – and a broader exploration of a theological methodology that makes 'science and religion' not only possible but desirable via Paul Tillich's method of correlation. By bringing time and salvation into dialogue, Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst's original insights move the 'science and religion' conversation forward into new and productive territory. Qureshi-Hurst also provides tools for other theologians and philosophers to do the same. Essential reading for anyone interested in the interactions between philosophy, religion, and science, she asks: without the reality of change, is personal salvation during one's lifetime even possible?

Emily Qureshi-Hurst is based at the University of Oxford as Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College and College Lecturer in Philosophy at Oriel College. The author of God, Salvation, and the Problem of Spacetime, she has published on a range of philosophical issues and has appeared on BBC Radio, New Scientist events, podcasts, and popular YouTube channels to discuss her work.
