Common to both Judaism and Christianity is a heightened engagement with time within liturgical practice, in which collective religious memory and anticipation come together to create a unique sense of time. Exploring the nebulous realms of religious experience and the sense of time, " Remembering the Future "charts the ways that the experience of time is shaped by the traditions of Judaism and Christianity and experienced within their ritual practices.
