Can Calvinists or Presbyterian Accept Apophatic Theology?
Calvinists and Presbyterians do not fully accept apophatic theology as a whole system.
While they affirm God’s transcendence and the limitations of human understanding, they also believe that God has revealed Himself through Scripture and the Word (Logos), making true, though not exhaustive, knowledge of God possible.
Therefore, while Calvinists reject the core claim of apophatic theology - that God can only be known through negation- they may appreciate some of its spiritual sensibilities, such as silence, reverence , and mystery, as long as these are rooted in biblical revelation.
