<\/a>\"Kirk<\/a>In\u00a0The 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\u2013world 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\u2019s relational being.\u00a0The Entangled God<\/em>\u00a0makes a\"The<\/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\u2019s 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.
