"Translated ... from the original French edition Transfigurer le temps, Delachaux & Niestlé, Paris, 1959."
Includes bibliographical references.
Clément's Transfiguring Time is an early work, written when he was 37. It carries all the excitement of his fresh encounter with Orthodoxy and the Fathers of the Christian Church. He draws on his deep study of Hinduism, Buddhism and Indian myths to differentiate the understanding of time and eternity in archaic religions, in Hinduism and in Buddhism, from the Christian and specifically Orthodox understanding of time and eternity. This new translation the first one in English - wants to bring Clément's early work to a new generation of readers.
