"Relieve" as a Spanish word

"Relieve" as a Spanish word

I encountered this word in a theological text. Neither spanishdict nor the Real Academia Español could help. The context for this use follows:

"con la que pone al mismo relieve tanto el cáracter inagotable de su ser"

Unfortunately, the full sentence that contains the word "relieve" is too long to enter as a comment. - caolin, Jun 20, 2015
After further thought, I think the geographical sense you proposed fits metaphorically. - caolin, Jun 20, 2015

In geography it has to do with "terrain"

In art, is usually means "relief" such as in raised levels in the paper as in a "relief" map.

Does that get it? I have no idea what it would mean in a theological sense. I would have to see the whole phrase in order to give a proper translation.
