On Knowing and Unknowing God: Reason and Mysticism in the Armenian Theologian Gregory of Tatev
Ruth M Gornandt · 2023
Catalogue summary
Gregory of Tatev's logical theology is reread to show that apophatic hiddenness and divine incomprehensibility still govern his cataphatic reasoning, scriptural interpretation, spiritual practice, and claim that unknowing is highest knowledge.
Why this matters
The argument revises a common assessment of a major medieval Armenian theologian by locating mysticism inside rather than outside his rational method.
