Entangled God

<p>In <em>The Entangled God</em> Kirk Wegter-McNelly addresses the age-old theological question of how God is present to the world by constructing a novel scientifically informed account of the God–world relation. Drawing on recent scientific and philosophical work in quantum entanglement Wegter-McNelly develops the metaphor of divine entanglement to ground the relationality and freedom of physical process in the power of God’s relational being. <em>The Entangled God</em> makes a three-fold contribution to contemporary theological and religious discourse. First it calls attention to the convergence of recent theology around the idea of relationality. Second it introduces theological and religious readers to the fascinating story of quantum entanglement. Third it offers a robust plerotic alternative to kenotic accounts of God’s suffering presence in the world. Above all this book takes us beyond the view of theology and science as adversaries and demonstrates the value of constructively relating these two important areas of intellectual investigation.</p>
