"A transcendent deity is not connected with man, while an immanent deity is connected with man. An umgreifend deity is, however, both connected and disconnected with man. To speak in greater detail, the umgreifend deity reveals Himself not only to His believers but to those who wish to know Him. He tries as far as possible to appeal to human wisdom, gives persuasion and satisfaction and waits anxiously in the expectation of human evolution."
