Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to problems connected with a concept of eternal present. I analyze two such conceptions of maximally extended divine “now”: proposed by Stump and Kretzmann and proposed by Whitehead. Yet the article begins with the presentation Thomas Aquinas’ conception of eternity. On the ground of this theory “eternal now’ has only metaphorical meaning.
