- Panentheism (from the Greek words: pan, en and Theos, literally "God-in-all") is the view that God is immanent within all Creation or that God is the animating force within and behind the universe. However, unlike pantheism, panentheism does not equate the universe with God or suggest that there is no aspect of God beyond the universe itself. In panentheism, God maintains a transcendent character (separate and beyond the universe), and is viewed as both the creator and the original source of universal morality.
- Panentheism (from Greek πᾶν (pân) "all"; ἐν (en) "in"; and θεός (theós) "God"; "all-in-God") is a belief system which posits that God exists and interpenetrates every part of nature, and timelessly extends beyond as well. Panentheism is distinguished from pantheism, which holds that God is synonymous with the material universe.

| - Panentheism (from Greek πᾶν (pân) "all"; ἐν (en) "in"; and θεός (theós) "God"; "all-in-God") is a belief system which posits that God exists and interpenetrates every part of nature, and timelessly extends beyond as well. Panentheism is distinguished from pantheism, which holds that God is synonymous with the material universe. Briefly put, in pantheism, "God is the whole"; in panentheism, "The whole is in God." This means that the Universe in the first formulation is practically the Whole itself, but in the second the universe and God are not ontologically equivalent. In panentheism, God is not necessarily viewed as the creator or demiurge, but the eternal animating force behind the universe, with the universe as nothing more than the manifest part of God. The cosmos exists within God, who in turn "pervades" or is "in" the cosmos. While pantheism asserts that God and the universe are coextensive, panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe and that the universe is contained within God. Hinduism is highly characterized by Panentheism and Pantheism.

In panentheism, God maintains a transcendent character (separate and beyond the universe), and is viewed as both the creator and the original source of universal morality. Panentheism, although not a new idea in itself, has come to be associated with Process theology, in which God is viewed as a finite being who is changing, attaining, and "in process," which happens to accord well with the Open theism concept in which God is "changing" as a result of man's free will choices in life.
