In Abrahamic religions, the doctrine of divine incomprehensibility says that God is not able to be fully known.
[1] Most theologians will balance this by saying that God is able to be known in some ways.
"[3] Some older English versions of the Athanasian Creed confess "the Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible" as a translation of the Latin immensus.
[4] Modern English translations have "immeasurable",[5] "infinite",[6] or "unlimited".
[7] Divine incomprehensibility was said to be a point of conflict in the Clark-Van Til Controversy in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church during the 1940s,[8] but John Frame argues that the issue there was the relationship between human knowledge and divine knowledge, rather than human knowledge and the being of God.
