单词 | emanation |
释义 | emanationn. I. The process or action of flowing forth, emanating, or emitting. 1. a. The process of flowing forth, issuing, or proceeding from anything as a source. literal and figurative. Often applied to the origination of created beings from God; chiefly with reference to the theories that regard either the universe as a whole, or the spiritual part of it, as deriving its existence from the essence of God, and not from an act of creation out of nothing. Also, in Theology, used to denote the ‘generation’ of the Son, and the ‘procession’ of the Holy Ghost, as distinguished from the origination of merely created beings.
