Read somewhere on Usenet:

There is always that chapter in "Mere Christianity" which introduces the topic but I would suggest those interested in the topic to get a copy of "Dimensions of Time: The Structures of the Time of Humans, of the World and of God" by Wolfgang Achtner, Stefan Kunz and Thomas Walter. This is definitely not for the casual reader. It would certainly help if you have some background in either physics or mathematics.

Apart from that, obviously God exists outside of time. The space/mass/time continuum was created. i.e. it has a beginning. And in that God is infinite, there can be nothing which stands behind Him or over Him. Simply, God does not dwell in time.

I personally think that this was to a very large degree, part of the Incarnation experience. Luke 2:54 stating that Christ grew in stature and in wisdom speaks to a chronological consciousness. This is certainly the human experience and if Christ is said to have been tempted even as we, then the chronological aspect is certain part of it. IMHO, I think very very few people give much thought to the conscious life of Christ during His Incarnational birth to the time of His entrance into death. Look at Jn 8. The Greek expresses the view that Christ was actually caught unawares when the woman caught in adultery was cast before Him. I really have difficulty with those who present Christ's walk on earth having some semblance of His pre-incarnate state of Divine consciousness, especially with omniscience in view. To follow such thinking destroys not the sympathetic nature but also the legal identity with mankind.
