This was an interesting article. I going on my memory and It have been many years since I have read Maximus the Confessor but I’m fairly certain, that if hd had said “Creation is theophany” that such s pantheistic sounding claim would be something I would have remembered.
Based on my memory he did offer a speculative idea that creation was moving towards its end which is unity with God, but to me that is significantly different from “creation is theophany.”
Thank you for this challenging yet accessible and uplifting article!
