Abstract
The classical Christian theologies of incarnation and eucharist evolved from an ancient metaphysics and a view of the natural world which is of no relevance to the empiricism of Newtonian science. Modern quantum mechanics suggests a metaphysics which may be helpful in imagining God's presence in the world. This study has four parts: first, a discussion of the connections between doctrinal formulations and physical worldview; then a survey of classical theological accounts of incarnation and eucharist and resurrection; thirdly, some comments on quantum theory and metaphysics; and, finally, suggestions about the deployment of quantum metaphysics in giving an account of God's presence in the world.
