Hylotheism

Last updated

Hylotheism (from Gk. hyle , 'matter' and theos, 'God') is the belief that matter and God are the same, so in other words, defining God as matter. [1] [2]

The American Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod defines hylotheism is "Theory equating matter with God or merging one into the other" which it states as "Synonym for pantheism* and materialism.*". [3]
