Abstract
We argue that light, as it is described in physics (quantum mechanics and special relativity), embodies the mystery of perichoresis. This is to propose that physics offers helpful metaphors in grasping perichoresis. Our major theological point is that light expresses the perichoretic union of God and humankind. We acknowledge that perichoresis also entails the interpenetration of Christ's two natures and the mutual indwelling of God, Son, and Holy Spirit, and these are, for us, supporting instances of perichoresis. After elaborating three light-related instances of perichoresis, we liken light's perichoretic nature, particularly as it finds expression in Albert Einstein's postulate of light speed constancy, to God's constant, unwavering love of humankind.
