What is another word for apophatic theology?
Pronunciation: [ɐpəfˈatɪk θɪˈɒləd͡ʒi] (IPA) 
Apophatic theology is a branch of theology that focuses on the negative aspects of God, describing what cannot be said about Him rather than what can. Synonyms for apophatic theology include negative theology, via negativa, and mystical theology. Negative theology emphasizes the incomprehensibility of God and seeks to negate all human descriptions and concepts that may limit or define the divine. Via negativa is a Latin term that means the same thing, and mystical theology seeks to understand the unseen or mystical aspects of the divine through contemplation and meditation rather than through logical analysis. These synonyms all emphasize the idea that God is beyond human comprehension and cannot be fully described or understood through words and concepts.
