## In this episode

What is time?

What is its relationship with eternity?

Does God’s perfect knowledge negate our apparent free will?

As we continue through the Boethius section of “Life, Death, and Meaning with Beowulf and Boethius,” we take a look at Augustine’s understanding of time, eternity, and freedom.
