'''Panentheism''' is a word that derives from the [[Greek]] compound term pân (πᾶν) "all"; en (ἐν) "in"; and theós (θεός) "God"; meaning "all is in God". It is a belief system that postulates the divine interpenetrates every part of the universe, while it is not limited to it but transcends it. This is the main difference from [[pantheism]], which holds that the divine is not a distinct but synonymous with the universe.
