He discusses the role of individuals and communities in shaping history, as well as the impact of historical events on the present.The author also explores the concept of time, arguing that time is not simply a linear progression, but rather a complex and dynamic entity that is shaped by human actions and the workings of divine providence. He examines the relationship between past, present, and future, arguing that the past is not simply a static entity, but rather an ongoing influence on the present and future.Throughout the book, D'Arcy draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, theological writings, and historical narratives, to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the meaning and matter of history.
