But <strong>why do that say this<\/strong>, and <strong>what does the claim mean<\/strong>? Is God <em>literally<\/em> located, and in all places? Or do we only talk <em>as if<\/em> God is located everywhere, while in fact God isn&#8217;t located anywhere? Is God metaphorically everywhere but literally nowhere? Or should we distinguish, as Dr. Jedwab argues,<strong> a &#8220;strict&#8221; from a &#8220;loose&#8221; sense<\/strong> in which God is everywhere, so that God is loosely everywhere, but not strictly everywhere? And how is God related to <strong>space<\/strong>? Is space, as a few famous Christian philosophers have argued, a divine attribute, the &#8220;divine immensity&#8221;? Or is space a part of God&#8217;s creation?<\/p>\n<p>In this wide-ranging philosophical discussion, we get into the above issues, and also <strong>related issues about souls<\/strong>. If souls, as many believe, are located, why can&#8217;t God be (&#8220;strictly&#8221;) located? And we also address the idea, familiar both from some Christian and some Hindu theologies, that the cosmos is (or is somewhat like) God&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n<p>You can also <strong>listen t<\/strong><strong>o this episode on<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a title=\"trinities podcast @ stitcher\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/s?fid=54067&amp;refid=stpr\" target=\"_blank\">Stitcher<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong><a title=\"trinities @ itunes\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/id690304581?mt=2&amp;uo=4&amp;at=11l5XS\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>\u00a0(please subscribe, rate, and review<\/strong>\u00a0us in either or both \u2013 <strong><a title=\"how to rate us at iTunes and Stitcher\" href=\"http:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/review\/\" target=\"_blank\">directions here<\/a><\/strong>).
