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.)
