Can humans know God? Can created beings approach the Uncreated? The
concept of God and questions about our ability to know him are
central to this book. Eastern Orthodox theology distinguishes
between knowing God as he is (his divine essence) and as he
presents himself (through his energies), and thus it both negates
and affirms the basic question: man cannot know God in his essence,
but may know him through his energies. Henny Fiska Hagg
investigates this earliest stage of Christian negative (apophatic)
theology, as well as the beginnings of the distinction between
essence and energies, focusing on Clement of Alexandria in the late
second century. Clement's theological, social, religious, and
philosophical milieu is also considered, as is his indebtedness to
Middle Platonism and its concept of God.
