problematic character of quantum indeterminism: it only appears in some interpretations of quantum theory and it involves a highly nonclassical ontology . He acknowledges the enormous empirical success of quantum theory but notes that

“Divine Action and Quantum Mechanics : A Fresh Assessment." Robert John Russell develops and extends the thesis that, if one interprets quantum mechanics philosophically as pointing to ontological indeterminism, then one

Histories Interpretation of Quantum Theory and the Problem of Human/Divine Action." The overall aim of Chris Clarke’s essay is to show how a modification of the consistent- histories interpretation of quantum mechanics provides a

an indeterministic view of quantum mechanics for theological reasons, but one should not claim that quantum mechanics provides independent, scientifically arguable grounds for such a choice. Book Series Index Next: Ellis, George

that are relevant to quantum mechanics are noncommutative algebras, and it is this noncommutativity which is responsible, according to Heller, for all the peculiarities of quantum theory. Algebraic formulation also leads to the possibility

Freedom In the Movement from Quantum Physics to Theology." Philip Clayton gives two reasons why constructive theology should engage in dialogue with quantum physics: it cannot afford the fideistic position that results from

Issues Arising from Quantum Theory ." As a prelude to the problem of divine action and quantum physics, William R. Stoeger explores the epistemological and ontological implications of quantum physics. Clearly a discussion of divine
