Abstract
In this article the author ponders the question as to whether there is an intrinsic relation between mathematics and theology with regard to their understanding of truth. Various concepts of truth drawn from philosophy (Plato, Aristotle) and theology (e.g. scripture, apophatic theology, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Ockham, Luther, Scholz, Barth, Pannenberg) are introduced. The concept of truth in mathematics with its relation to proof is discussed with regard to results in proof theory acquired by Gödel and Gentzen. The basic idea is that there is an interesting analogy between the way mathematical truth is sought in Gentzen's work and in apophatic theology.
