About This Quote

The idea that God has some sort of spiritual existence outside of creation is referred to as the “ascent” view of God. This view proposes that God is so transcendent that he can exist outside of creation. This is a more popular view today, but was not widely accepted in the early days of Christianity. The idea that God can be both transcendent and part of creation is referred to as the “descent” view.

According to this view, God made humanity in his own image, which means that humanity can be considered divine. So, for instance, humans have the potential to become gods.
