This volume evaluates Thomas Bradwardine's view of time as a mathematical, philosophical and theological concept within the context of ancient and medieval discussions of the problem of time.
The book begins with an historiographical analysis of Bradwardine's mathematical and theological works, followed by an examination of the problem of time in classical, early medieval and thirteenth-century texts. Next, a series of chapters surveys Bradwardine's view of time as it related to proportionality, contingency, continuity and predestination. A final chapter establishes Bradwardine's place among fourteenth-century natural philosophers and theologians.
As it uses a wide range of Bradwardine's writings, this book is able to show how Bradwardine's philosophical and theological views converged. This study is especially useful for historians of late medieval science, philosophy and theology.

'Die Durchführung erfordert eine zweifache Tätigkeit: Erstens ist Schritt für Schritt der Quelle zu folgen, in diesem Falle dem literarischen Werk von Thomas Bradwardine. Durch die Weise, wie D. dies unternimmt, erhält der Leser einen lebendigen Eindruck vom Leben und Wirken dieses Magisters, von seiner Entwicklung, die sich auf die Kurzformel bringen läßt: vom Physiker and Mathematiker zum Theologen. Eine solche Darstellung kann heute aber nur unter Einbeziehung der Sekundärliteratur vorgelegt werden. Dieser zweiten Aufgabe kommt D. mit gediegener Sachkenntnis und in seriöser, stets begründeter Kritik nach.'
