I see a variety of discussions of time with different views. Is there a good summary or journal review article?

This is the sort of question I think is useful to explore with ChatGPT et al, and of course you can ask for links.

In the meantime, Stanford and IEP are always good for this sort of thing (including as a background for conversing with the former):

You’re just going to get philosophizing with scientific language.

Beyond the mathematical model used for a particular physics question, there just isn’t much consensus.

It won’t necessarily convey all the different views, but The Order of Time by Carlo Roveli is an absolutely beautiful walk through the various interpretations of time down to the quantum level. The nature of time is not fully understood and Roveli understandably (and openly) has and endorses his own view here, but he covers the ground upon which there’s consensus quite well.
