What is time? Is it merely the ticking of clocks, the flow of seconds, or the decay of matter? Or does it conceal a deeper mystery-one rooted in the Logos, the eternal Word of God?
In this groundbreaking first volume of the
Logos-Centred Chronosophy series, theologian and philosopher S.C. Sayles reclaims the doctrine of time as a central theme of Christian thought. Moving beyond reductionist science and secular philosophy,
Chronos demonstrates that time is not an impersonal mechanism but a covenantal reality, ordered by God and fulfilled in Christ.
Drawing from Augustine, Calvin, and the Reformed tradition-while engaging physics, metaphysics, and contemporary philosophy-Sayles argues that creation itself is structured as an
Information Field (IΔF) sustained by the Logos. Within this field, time is revealed as a divine gift:
- Created in Christ, not eternal.
- Structured by covenant, not by chance.
- Directed toward fulfillment, not futility.
From the opening pages of Genesis to the eschatological vision of Revelation,
Chronos unfolds the biblical witness that history has a telos. It exposes distortions of time under sin, critiques secular notions of determinism and nihilism, and shows how the Incarnation, Resurrection, and Consummation reorient all temporality to its eternal ground in Christ.
Accessible yet profound, this volume combines Reformed theology, Van Tilian epistemology, and rich philosophical insight into a unified vision of
time as fulfilled only in the Logos.
For pastors, scholars, and seekers alike,
Chronos is both an intellectual exploration and a spiritual summons-to redeem the time, to perceive history as sacred narrative, and to find one's place in the eternal purpose of God.
