Panentheism

February 6, 2010

[pan-en’-thee-iz-um]

(Greek pan-, “all” + Greek en-, “in” + Greek theos, “God”)

A view of God which combines pantheism with theism. The panentheist believes that all of creation is in God, but does not make up the sum total of what God is. Like cells in a body, the universe is part of God. Important panentheists include Charles Hartshorne and Alfred North Whitehead.
