The exploration of divine agency in the context of theology and science reveals a complex interplay of three key influences from early modernity. The well-documented late medieval perfect-being theology and the dual revelation concept of nature are complemented by the early modern interpretation of the Augustinian doctrine of inspiration. This perspective emphasizes the soul's existence and offers a distinct understanding of divine agency in humans, which subsequently influenced broader perceptions of divine action in the natural world.
