What can man know about God? This question became one of the main
problems during the 4th-century Trinitarian controversy, which is
the focus of this book. Especially during the second phase of the
conflict, the claims of Anomean Eunomius caused an emphatic
response of Orthodox writers, mainly Basil of Caesarea and Gregory
of Nyssa. Eunomius formulated two ways of theology to show that we
can know both the substance (ousia) and activities (energeiai) of
God. The Orthodox Fathers demonstrated that we can know only the
external activities of God, while the essence is entirely
incomprehensible. Therefore the 4th-century discussion on whether
the Father and the Son are of the same substance was the turning
point in the development of negative theology and shaping the
Christian conception of God.
