One thing that Hannah didn't cover in the video, although she mentioned it off-camera, was the idea of two levels of causation that sometimes appears in personalistic paradigms. There is the immediate cause (for example, the accidentally-thrown spear that puncture's somebody's body), but also the 'efficient' cause (the supernatural force that caused that specific person to be hit by that specific spear).
