Bringing together philosophy, religion, and science, this study questions if personal salvation is possible without the reality of change. Emily Qureshi-Hurst focuses on salvation in the block universe, using Paul Tillich's method of correlation to explore a methodology that makes connections between science and religion possible and desirable.
