[Negative theology] is a concept in Christian theology that attempts to describe God by negation, stating that the essence of God does not fit into any humanly conceivable concept, surpassing all predicates. This theological approach aims to speak of God only through negations like “God is not X.” It forms one of the two main streams in Christian theology alongside [positive theology]. Negative theology is closely related to mysticism and has also influenced philosophy, especially in German-speaking regions.
- The expression “what X is not” is occasionally seen.
