    Negative Theology: Its Use and Christological Function in Late Antiquity and Subsequent Developments
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Steenbuch, Johannes Aakjær
    This article discusses the historical development of negative theology from its formulations in early Christianity to its later forms in Medieval Neo-Platonism. First analyzing how in early Christian thought negative theology was often used for a Christological purpose, the article goes on to discuss the implications of the Neo-Platonic notion of God as beyond being. While primarily applying a historical methodology, the article concludes by encouraging a rediscovery of the Christological orientation for negative theology found in its early Christian formulations.
