An "apophatic" Christian?

Beware that pernicious idol, the anthropomorphized "God".  (Cf. the Second Commandment.)  Some have asked me what I meant when I described myself as an apophatic Christian.  Something quite classically orthodox, actually.  See Nicholas Lash, Theology for Pilgrims (Notre Dame 2008).  In particular, the chapters that constitute "Part One:  Thinking of God Without Losing Our Way".  (As it happens, the first of those chapters is a devastating critique of Dawkins's The God Delusion.)
