Divine transcendence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Christians hold that God is transcendent, that He is other than all else that exists. For example, Paul Tillich claims,
The divine beings and the Supreme Being, God, are representations of that which is ultimately referred to in the religious act. They are representations, for the unconditioned transcendent surpasses every possible conception of a being, including even the conception of a Supreme Being … It is the religious function of atheism ever to remind us that the religious act has to do with the unconditioned transcendent, and that the representations of the Unconditioned are not objects concerning whose existence … a discussion would be possible.
