Incarnational Ontology

"The shape of this theological1 or participatory ontology is nonreductive and incarnational: On the one hand, it affirms that matter as created exceeds itself and ‘is’ only insofar as it participates in or is suspended from the transcendent Creator; on the other hand, it affirms that there is a significant sense in which the transcendent inheres in immanence."

James K.A. Smith, Introducing Radical Orthodoxy, P. 191
