Rational theology and problems with rationality

Contestation with another attempt at removing Orthodox metaphysics outside the borders of rationality, fraught with its reducing to pretended “churching” of the postmodernist model “God without being” is being continued in this paper. It is exhibited that this attempt is realized firstly via literal interpretation of some metaphors of Byzantine theology and widening of the concept of energies by means of limitless enlargement of its content. Detected is also that extremities of theological apophaticism coincide in some sense with atheism. Some other topics are touched also in the context of this controversy, such as a traditional issue of the presence of Platonism in Christian practical theology, the status of arguments for the existence of God in the area of informal logic, and the space of rational theology in knowledge of God and apologetics along with correlations between rational and mystical theology in the theistic religion.
