The German philosopher Karl Christian Friedrich [[Krause]] (1781–1832) seeking to reconcile [[monotheism]] and [[pantheism]], coined the term panentheism (all in God) in 1828. This conception of God influenced [[New England transcendentalists]] such as [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]]. The term was popularized by [[Charles Hartshorne]] in his development of [[process theology]] and has also been adopted by proponents of various [[New Thought]] beliefs. However despite formalization of this term in the west as late as the 18th century, the formal analysis of panentheism is not new; for example philosophical treatises have been written on it in the context of [[Hinduism]] for millennia. | The German philosopher Karl Christian Friedrich [[Krause]] (1781–1832) seeking to reconcile [[monotheism]] and [[pantheism]], coined the term panentheism (all in God) in 1828.
