Abstract:

.

The topic of divine action has been central to the theology-and-science discussion over the last twenty years. Some tentative conclusions are currently being drawn in light of research initiatives that have been engaged on this topic. I review three recent books that have responded in some way to the ongoing discussion. These responses show that, notwithstanding the advances made in the conversation, much work remains to be done before a plausible theory of divine action emerges at the interface of theology and science.

Keywords: causal joint; Divine Action Project; interventionism; quantum cosmology; theology of nature
