Negative Theology

Theology

“This fine book displays a rare combination of breadth, depth, and clarity. Written in a lucid expository style, it covers the origins of the via negativa in Judaic transcendentalism, through the advent of Christian Platonism, the medieval tradition, to modern philosophy and theology. It is unusual to find such a command and intellectual grasp applied to so many different periods and contexts. Serious thinkers, be they philosophers or theologians, will find it indispensable in the future.”
