| Summary: | Common theological approaches to divine action assume that God intervenes in history, either by temporarily abrogating natural laws or by manipulating supposedly indeterministic events on the quantum level. This essay inquires on the possibility of reconciling divine action in time with a Thomistic concept of God: A timeless deity can be thought of as pre-responding to temporal events by integrating eternal contingency plans into the laws of nature at the moment of creation. Accordingly, God acts without intervening. In this theory, God's aseity and impassibility are maintained despite indirect responses to free human actions, for example to petitionary prayer. |
