Cataphatic (sometimes spelled kataphatic)
theology is the expressing of God
or the divine through positive terminology. This is in contrast to defining God
or the divine in what God is not, which is referred to as negative or apophatic theology.
The word cataphatic itself is formed from two Greek words, "cata"
meaning to descend and "femi" meaning to speak. Thus, to combine them
translates the word roughly as "to bring God down in such a way so as to
speak of him."[1]
