Theocentrism

Theocentrism is a worldview that places God or the divine at the center of everything. It sees the universe, morality, and human purpose as fundamentally centered around and oriented toward God. In this perspective, God's nature, will, and existence are primary, influencing all aspects of life and thought. Theocentric beliefs are common in many religious traditions, emphasizing that understanding and aligning with God's will is the ultimate goal. This contrasts with anthropocentric views, which prioritize human interests, making theocentrism a foundation for guiding moral values, life purposes, and interpretations of the universe.
