Transcendental God

Transcendental God: God understood as separate from and above the world, eternal and unchanging in nature, and unaffected by human history – the standard conception of theisms across cultures. A life-coherently transcendental possibility of God – developing as the laws of the universe and the world develop but impelling more inclusive possibility beyond them – is therefore ruled out.
