MDiv Thesis: “Becoming truth about ‘true becoming’”
I realized today, in preparation for a talk on science and faith for Region IV of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia (about which: more in a subsequent post), that I never uploaded my MDiv thesis: “Becoming truth about ‘true becoming’: Providence, causality, and science in a secular age.” So I’m doing so now (click here…
