This article studies three advocates of the ‘apophatic turn’ in recent trinitarian theology: Karen Kilby, Sarah Coakley and Katherine Sonderegger. I evaluate particular uses to which they put apophaticism in relation to the doctrine of the Trinity, dialogically building a case for an integrative approach. I conclude by sketching several constructive implications of this approach.
