I'm using the word in contrast to immanent. The Good that exists beyond any individual subject or particular circumstances. This, as opposed to what appears to us at some given time and place as good for any one person, group of people, or even all of humanity. The latter is self-referential; the former is not.
Let me know when you (or some other theist) can come up with a good logical argument as to why we need a Transcendent good to exist, as opposed to arguing that the absence of it is merely impractical (rather than also illogical).
