Critically assess the Via Negativa as a means of knowing God In the Christian tradition, the via negativa (apophatic theology) refers to a way of speaking about God and his attributes through the way of the negative.

Following that up by telling us that to do so Satan had placed a wasp’s nests of his own evil in the
