Description: The God of classical Christian faith is radically transcendent--utterly beyond understanding and words. So if God is to be known it must be in the luminous darkness of unknowing.

Review Quotes: ""The process by which Greek thought forms were used by Christian thinkers was eclectic and nuanced. The great value of The Indescribable God is it pays full attention both to the ideas of God's incomprehensibility in Scripture and to the primary texts of Christian thinkers from the early church fathers to Calvin and beyond, letting both kinds of sources speak for themselves. The result is a first-class tool for the student of Christian doctrine."" --Paul Helm, Teaching Fellow, Regent College
