The word was coined in the early eighteenth century, and Spinoza’s “God or Nature” became its classic statement. Mystics accused of pantheism, such as Eckhart and Ibn ʿArabī, often answer that they affirm God’s presence in all things without denying God’s transcendence, a position closer to panentheism.
Pantheism
The view that God and the universe are identical: all is God, and God is all.
