Hermeneutics

Hosted ByDr. Johanna Hartelius

Three friends talking about the Gospel of John.

Episode 1 – Apophatic

Is saying nothing the best way to say something about God? Is it clearer and more precise to say who and what God is not than who God is? Dr. Johanna Hartelius tells us why ‘apophatic’ is a theological term we need to know so that we can all speak Christian better.
