Ryan,
This stuff is fascinating. I've just started digging into it myself. I am
currently reading Nancey Murphy's "Religion and Science: God, Evolution,
and the Soul," (Pandora Press, 2002)and plan to read "Whatever Happened to
the Soul?: Scientific and Theological Poertaits of Human Nature," edited by
Warren S. Brown, Nancey Murphy and H. Newton Malony
(Fortress Press, 1998). I also have "Neuroscience and the Person:
Scientific Perspectives on Divine Action," edited by Robert John Russell,
Nancey Murphy, Theo C. Meyering and Michael A. Arbib (Vatican Observatory
and Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, 1999) but it may be
awhile before I get around to reading that one.
Maybe other ASA members and discussion group participants can comment on
the relative merits of these or other books or papers on the subject.
