An international team of researchers uncovers the dynamics of competing notions of time and the cultural embeddedness of each.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe following debates about diverging notions of time are discussed as test cases of constructing religious and exegetical boundaries: eternity of time as wholly other, conceived by Plato and reinterpreted by the Jewish exegete Philo; day one of the creation between ideal and measurable time, interpreted differently by Philo and Philoponus, a Christian exegete; cyclical time in the world conflagration as debated among pagan philosophers, Hellenistic and rabbinic Jews as well as Christian exegetes; the contrast between God's timelessness and human embeddedness in measurable time as seen by Platonic and Christian authors; and finally, the conflict between messianic and historical time, which prompted lively encounters not only between Jews and Christians, but also among the various members of each group. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaren R.
