Measure in the Eternity of God and in Created Durations

Sr. Jocelyn Garey’s dissertation is a two-part treatment of the nature of time and eternity. The first is a translation of the text of John of St. Thomas’ commentary on the consideration of God’s eternity in the Summa Theologiae. The second part is a commentary on the nature and interrelationship between God’s eternity, the angelic aevum, and time.
