Toward an understanding of the eschatological presence of the risen Jesus with Robert Jenson

This article will attempt to demonstrate the plausibility of Robert Jenson's account of the Son's existence before his earthly lifetime by arguing that the retroactive presence of the risen Jesus is what Jenson means, and by reflecting on the relationship between the way that grace and power of Christ reaches to the people of Israel and the concept of retrocausality in physics. This article restricts its discussion to the presence of the risen Jesus in the economy, leaving aside the question of the eternity-time relation, on the grounds that one may constructively engage with Jenson's account, regardless of his or her view of eternity.
