Negative theology or apophasis - the idea that God is best
identified in terms of 'absence', 'otherness', 'difference' - has
been influential in modern Christian thought, resonating as it does
with secular notions of negation developed in continental
philosophy. Apophasis also has a strong intellectual history dating
back to the early Church Fathers. Silence and the Word both studies
the history of apophasis and examines its relationship with
contemporary secular philosophy. Leading Christian thinkers explore
in their own way the extent to which the concept of the apophatic
illumines some of the deepest doctrinal structures of Christian
faith, and of Christian self-understanding both in terms of its
historical and contemporary situatedness, showing how a dimension
of negativity has characterised not only traditional mysticism but
most forms of Christian thought over the years.
