31. Through Theology in a Year with C. Michael Patton: Apophatic Theology

Welcome to the thirty-first episode of "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. In this episode, we continue our exploration of Christian epistemology by delving into the difference between apophatic and cataphatic theology-also known as the theology of mystery and the theology of revelation. We will examine these concepts throughout the history of the Church, understanding how "the secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever" (Deuteronomy 29:29) shapes our Christian epistemology. By exploring the balance between mystery and revelation, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the dynamic nature of knowing God. Join us as we uncover how these theological approaches inform our faith and practice. Make sure to catch up on previous episodes to fully grasp the ongoing series. Join us as we delve into these approaches, examining how we can adapt our faith practices to effectively engage with a postmodern audience.
