In Epistle 137, Augustine writes: “The Christian teaching nowhere holds that God was so poured into human flesh as either to desert or lose – or to transfer and, as it were, compress within this frail body – the care of governing the universe. This is the thought of people unable to conceive of anything but bodily things . . . God is not great in bulk, but in might. Therefore the greatness of his might feels no confinement in narrow surroundings. If the passing word of a person is heard simultaneously by many, and completely by each of them, then it is not incredible that the abiding Word of God should be everywhere at once.”
