We are taught by our culture to think that for God to act, he has to interfere with the natural course of events in one way or another, perhaps through the openings left by quantum indeterminacy. The argument of this book is that the pertinent concepts in religion don't work that way. When the naive concept of divine interference is examined closely, it quickly shows itself to be incoherent and incapable of doing the work assigned to it.If we look at the language of human action in real life, what we find is not nature but history. The supernatural is just naturalism by other means; the real alternative to nature is history. The God of history has a power and majesty that goes quite beyond anything that the naturalists have offered us.
