"This is a lovely book—rooted in and expressive of love for God, love for Jesus Christ, love for Scripture, and love for all who thirst to know the God who reveals himself in Christ and through the biblical Word. Kurtz has managed to unite faith, scholarship, profundity, and readability on a crucial topic. We need more books like this one!"

"With its negative prefix, divine incomprehensibility appears to say that knowledge of God is impossible, thereby leading some people to become agnostic. Like appearances, however, prefixes too can be deceiving. By retrieving the classical formulation of the doctrine of divine incomprehensibility together with the all-important Creator-creature distinction, Ronni Kurtz ably demonstrates why divine incomprehensibility need not lead to agnosticism. Unlike God, Light Unapproachable is far from being incomprehensible. It is a clearly written, cogently argued, and readily comprehensible account of how theology can apprehend what the accommodating God has chosen to reveal about himself."

"If man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, as one catechism puts it, it would seem that knowledge of God should be possible. Yet, all the historic Christian traditions affirm the incomprehensibility of God. How is this possible? Ronni Kurtz has provided for us a masterful demonstration of how incomprehensibility must be accepted as a divine perfection and therefore as something extolling God's glory. This volume shows the implications of this attribute for the practice of theology itself, showing that the knowledge of God does not imply conceptual mastery."

"It is nothing short of amazing that so few theologians today have written on God's incomprehensibility. Perhaps this is not surprising. After all, the title wave of modern theology has left us with a domesticated God, vanquishing the beauty of the infinite. In the wake of this wasteland, Ronni Kurtz is planting new seeds with deep roots in sacred Scripture and the Great Tradition. With a clarity that matches the accessibility of his research, Kurtz demonstrates that the incomprehensibility of God is foundational to the recovery of classical theism today. More still, God's incomprehensibility is like a rich garden in which each vine is connected to the next as God's incomprehensibility connects everything from divine simplicity to the analogy of being to our participation in the beatific vision. Truly, Kurtz has planted the seeds for a great harvest to come."
