Authors

Abstract

Different concepts and approaches toward God in western theology and philosophy, from Greek period to modern age, has regarded from negative theology view point. But this concepts and approaches at the same time can be regarded from new perspective in modern age. In other word, it can be shown that in the modern age we can see a negative theology, i.e. refutation of resemblance between God and Man, and transcendence and distance of God from world and Man. According to this view, God doesn't intervene in history and nature. This new negative theology has some results such as mistrust in believe on revelation and miracle, and heavenly understanding of man.
