However there's the slightly tricky problem here that, while Derrida is Jewish and the article has a section on Jewish apophaticism, most of said writers influenced by him are Christian; thus given the present structure of the article it wouldn't seem appropriate to place a section on Derridan apophatic thought in either section even though it is a rather pertinent topic here. Would appreciate any thoughts on this.

Anyway, I just thought it would be important to add that apophatic theology (Negative

Section on
Derrida & negative theology has been added, under the Judaism section, though the influence he's had on Christian theology is noted. Seems likely by far the most sensible option.

I moved this article to the new title, because (a) on Google, this title is three times more common; and (b) in my reading on philosophy this title seems to be used more often.

Davidshq, Nov 2, 2004: It would be useful to add a discussion of the three ways, as discussed by Jean-Luc Marion in God, the Gift, and Postmodernism, chp. 1 "In the Name."
