Table of ContentsReviewsIn this new contribution to the theology and science literature and written for the nonspecialist, Rocco Boni argues that quantum mechanics supports classical Christianity and resolves some long-standing disparities between science and Christianity. Boni bases his argument on the ontological claim that while the ordinary world of experience is physical and material, nature at the level of quantum phenomena is nonphysical and immaterial. He then adds to this dualist view of nature a Platonist view of the quantum wave-function. This allows Boni to claim that God, as disembodied, transcendent mind, can interact directly with nature at the immaterial, quantum level. By adopting a Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics which supports an indeterministic view of the quantum world, Boni can also claim that God acts in the world without intervening in, and violating, the laws of nature and natural processes. Readers who have followed the recent discussions of quantum mechanics and divine action will find much to consider in Boni's provocative book. --Robert John Russell, Ian G.
