Transcendence and Self-Transcendence

Merold Westphal

January 1, 2004 DOI: 10.2979/3184.0 (opens in new tab)

Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

The work reconsiders the concept of divine transcendence within theistic frameworks, arguing that traditional notions may be revised to account for contemporary philosophical and theological insights. It explores how God's transcendence can be understood not as absolute separation but as a dynamic relation that preserves divine otherness while allowing for immanence and engagement with the world. The argument suggests that this rethinking opens new avenues for addressing problems of divine action, revelation, and religious experience.
