| Summary: | This paper considers the resources of Trinitarian theology for conceiving of the relationship between divine action and the natural world. We begin with the core commitments of Trinitarian theology alongside common desiderata for divine action, namely a conception of reality that grants sufficient independence to creation to allow meaningful interaction with and from the Creator. I then examine this claim in the light of contrasting non-Trinitarian theistic approaches and argue that Trinitarian theology uniquely grounds a particular kind of motivated divine action that undergirds the value of volitional and nomic independence within a framework of mutuality in relationship. |
