Welcome and have more to say here. This is really to the point and had to be helpful.

Well this article is quite the rabbit hole: 

But may give a little better sense of Emanation as it may be used in Catholic theology (not a common term, to my knowledge). 

In Percy, man's search for God is undertaken in the arena of people and things in the world. It's possible to seek Him there because all of created Being emanates from Him. Kind of like how you can tell a little bit about an artist from seeing his art.

Anyway. Hope that is helpful.

Also, I've been following on here for a while now, but haven't introduced myself. I'm an English teacher living in New Jersey. Discovered Percy in college and 'reverted' to Catholicism shortly thereafter.

Cheers,
Joe Francisco

I took the liberty of asking a question
Outside this circles former content.

Although I have read deeply in
Dr Percy’s landscape my
Portal wasn’t thru Catholicism.


Can someone please explain the
Theological meaning for
Emanation ?
The metaphors behind?
I wonder this as it is a  word
That might help along my own
Thoughts on “first causes”
 Thanks
