If it's the weirdness of QM, the apparent issues of nonlocality and
nondeterminacy, that interest you, a prominent example of interfacing
such with Christian thought is in the works of John Polkinghorne. We
have at times on this list broached the subject, though the technical
issues are probably the main reason for the topic's comparative
rarity.
