You might enjoy Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Kinship by the priest and Cambridge theoretical physicist John Polkinghorne.

His basic point is that in both science and theology there's an assumption that something is objectively, ontologically the case. The task of the truth-seeker in either context is to arrive at understandings increasingly corresponding to that reality - and the methods used are not entirely dissimilar. He develops his theme by looking at the development of things like particle physics, quantum theory, christology and the historical Jesus.

Some of John Polkinthorne's earlier stuff had a thread of God as ultimate cause & the idea of continuous creation. But his later work gets beautifully quantum which does
Funny things to causality, and from the ex-Cambridge Professor of Mathematical Physics it's quite an awesome opus.

I'd have to disagree. A cursory search led me to this book by John Pokinghorne.
