Positive theology describes God using human terms and attributes, affirming qualities like goodness, justice, and power, and occasionally feelings like anger or mercy; this approach is common in Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. Negative theology, on the other hand, emphasizes that God is ultimately unknowable and beyond human comprehension, so we can only understand him indirectly through his actions—an approach found especially in Judaism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and certain mystical traditions.
