Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe 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.
