Zusammenfassung:This article proposes that the “eschatological renaissance” characteristic of twentieth-century theology needs to proceed further with a renewal of pastoral concern for judgment. After a brief review of the difficulties associated with traditional talk of judgment, the article suggests that the apophatic tradition may furnish the resources necessary to such a renewal. An outline sketch of the nature of apophasis is followed by some particular suggestions as to how an apophatic strategy might be brought to bear upon the topic of judgment. In conclusion, the article sets out the criteria that would characterize an apophatic discourse upon judgment.
