From Keller's chapter in Theopoeitic Folds:
“When he collates differance with
divinity […] this difference signifies a self-deconstructing otherness.
Yet is does not destroy rationality, or even the categorial scheme. […]
Faber in this way continues the Whiteheadian struggle to capture in
language a difference between God and the world, or one and the other,
without reinscribing the settled boundary between them—or erasing their
difference. This differential nondualism [...] translates for him into
'God's in/difference.' One must not lose that inaudible slash, else
'in/difference' will be confused with the chilling apatheia. […]
Thus 'this negative assertion paradoxically requires that because God
is indeed nothing beyond all differences, God thus appears only in
differences.' […] Faber's divine in/difference morphs into difference
itself, the difference so radical as to be comprised by the 'essential
relationality' of all differences” (190).
