Does God act in the quantum world? a critical engagement with Robert John Russell

Abstract:: Quantum Mechanics and its philosophical interpretation has proved fertile ground for theological reflection, particularly regarding divine action. Pioneer in this field, Robert John Russell, proposes a Non-Interventionist Objective Divine Action (NIODA) in which God acts in and through the quantum process to actualise events as a form of objective special providence. This paper brings into conversation literature that has not been combined before, providing a comprehensive and up to date analysis of NIODA. Following this assessment, this paper suggests that there are areas of incompleteness. Both theodicy and relevance for day-to-day human existence remain open questions in NIODA.
