1. Discerning The Mystery
A reflective, scholarly meditation on the nature and practice of theology that argues true theological knowing is a discipline of discerning God’s mystery rather than simply formulating propositions; it draws on patristic and Eastern Christian insights about apophatic knowledge, liturgy, prayer and spiritual experience to show how language, symbols and tradition mediate an encounter with the divine, and it urges a balance between critical reason and receptive attention so theology remains a practice of discernment rather than ideological abstraction.
