AB I argue that the notion of Special Divine Action can be understood within a relational framework of scientific laws. I frame scientific laws as descriptions of actualized potencies of natural physical entities in a specified nexus of relations with each other, whereas SDA’s (such as miracles) consist in the actualization of such potencies in relation to God’s effectual call. The transformation of the universe will come about through the actualization of laws of grace, which are realized in relation to specific modes of the divine presence identified by the term “effectual call.”
