… “Apophatic”- important and insightful into early Orthodox thought.

… “Tentatively saying anything about the God who transcends all thought and perception is a style of theology known as apophatic, or "turning away from talking." It stands in contrast to the typical Western style of medieval scholastic theology, which advanced in terms of syllogisms and deductions. Orthodox thought does not say that nothing can be said of God; it merely points out that all human speech about the divine is tentative, since God's essence is entirely unknown, though he has revealed himself in creation and through history by means of his energies present in the world and by direct revelation, culminating in the Incarnation of the Christ.”
