Accommodation

Accommodation

Theologically, accommodation refers to God coming down to our level, using human language, human culture, etc., in order to communicate to us. He accommodated to our level so that we could understand and relate to him. God is “Wholly Other”; that is, he is so different than we are that we cannot know him fully in his infinite divine nature. Instead, he must meet us on our level.
