In theology and in discussion of the attributes of God, it is often said God is transcendent (in fact both transcendent and immanent). In liberal theology the emphasis is on immance (eg Tillich's "ground of being"). Neo-orthodoxy as best I understand seems to emphasise God's transcendence.
What does transcendent mean?
I know the metaphor of height is also often used in when speaking of God, in this sense height is not meant to taken literally.
Also should we think of God as outside of us?
