Publisher's Synopsis
Winner of the Templeton Foundation's 1998 Prize for Outstanding Books in Theology and the Natural Sciences.
Has contemporary science ruled out divine action in the world?
Philip Clayton surveys all the available biblical and philosophical resources. He considers current debates on naturalism, consciousness, agency, parentheism and the theory of knowledge. He shows how recent work in cosmology, quantum physics and the brain sciences is affirming or offering new possibilities for the theology of divine action.
