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.
