This book deals with the 4th-century Trinitarian controversy, which had a profound impact on negative theology. Eunomius claimed that we can know both the substance (ousia) and activities (energeiai) of God, whereas Cappadocians demonstrated the incomprehensibility of God's essence, and the possibility of knowing his external activities.
