Abstract

Despite its firm embeddedness in the Christian tradition, apophatic theology has been strangely absent in the science-and-religion dialogue. Given that the apophatic theologian eschews the idea that we can fully comprehend God, or positively articulate God’s being, this may not be too surprising. Indeed, the model-based logic of science and religion and its ambition to articulate, for example, divine activity through the latest scientific advancements seems to run contrary to the spirit of apophaticism. This article discusses whether Perry and Leidenhag’s science-engaged theology may provide a more suitable home for those who emphasize the ineffability and mysteriousness of God’s being.
