Ethan D. Smith, The Crucified Lord of Glory. Apophatic Theology as Transformational Mysticism
From the author:
Patristic apophatic theologies were typically written as commentaries on the church’s liturgy and/or as guides for the ascetic struggle for holiness. As such, apophatic theology was Christocentric, Scriptural, liturgical, and experientially ascetical and mystical. Modern negative theologies, by contrast, are often written as philosophical reflections on the limits of language or thought. They begin with the doctrine of creation, instead of Christology, and proceed inferentially, rather than experientially (ascetically and mystically), to determine that language and/or thought cannot comprehend the Creator. In this book I argue two things about such negative theology. First, I use the philosophical logic of Ludwig Wittgenstein to argue that the very idea of showing the transcendence of God by means of a demonstration of the limits of language or thought is fundamentally confused. Second, by contextualizing Patristic apophatic theology with ancient Jewish merkava mysticism I argue that modern negative theologies function as ways for theologians to turn away from the ascetical and mystical revelation of divine transcendence in Christ, the crucified Lord of Glory.
