Abstract	:	Maximus the Confessor’s way of reading the Christian Tradition can bypass the binaries of East and West, apophatic and kataphatic, which emerge in the filioque controversy. The highly charged environment of the filioque debates has led to these different approaches to the Christian mystery being pitted against one another. Maximus is a theologian of the united church who can explicitly emphasize key elements of apophatic and kataphatic theology: in theology proper, in Trinitarian relations, and in human knowledge of or union with God. Chapter 2 traces these key patterns of apophasis and kataphasis through Scripture, Origen’s De Principiis, Gregory of Nazianzus’s Theological Orations, and Gregory of Nyssa’s Ad Ablabius, contrasting Origen’s kataphatic pre-Nicene approach with the Nicene apophatic approach. Chapter 3 traces these same patterns of apophasis and kataphasis through Augustine’s De Trinitate and the Dionysian corpus, charting how these Nicene figures shift the conversation in directions that prefigure the kataphatic and apophatic emphases of later East and West.
