This chapter explores negative theology by examining the relational dynamics between God the Father and God the Son, emphasizing the limitations of human language in grasping divine essence. It highlights the contributions of Pseudo-Dionysius, illustrating the journey of knowledge and the significance of 'the darkness of unknowing' in encountering God. The discussion also addresses the implications of God's infinite nature and its profound influence on medieval theological thought, including the works of Thomas Aquinas.
