520 |a At a time when so much Christian rhetoric is given to overstatement it is salutary to be reminded of a strand of Christian thought, particularly associated with the mystical tradition—negative theology or apophasis—which stresses the limitations of language, the way in which language gives out in its attempt to comprehend a God who is best described in terms of absence, otherness, and difference. ‘[T]he silence of the negative way is the silence achieved only at the point at which talk about God has been exhausted.
