Transcendent is a term used to describe God. It means that He is higher than or beyond the created order, and acts independently of it (Psalm 113:4-5). Although transcendent, the God of the Bible is not detached or remote. He is also Immanent, as He chooses to draw near to the people He has made and have relationship with them (Psalm 113:6-9).
