the Immanent Frame

The Immanent Frame is a concept used in religious and cultural studies to describe how people experience or understand spirituality within everyday life and the natural world, without necessarily referring to a transcendent or supernatural realm. It emphasizes a focus on human existence, values, and social practices that shape meaning and identity from within this-worldly perspectives. Essentially, it’s a way of thinking about religion and spirituality that highlights how they are lived out and experienced in the practical, ordinary contexts of daily life, rather than through external or divine interventions.
