Theological objections hold that dialectical sublation traps God’s transcendence in eternal presence.

Evidence

The farewell to this renunciation, to the death of God, would only be the first moment of the negation, a first negation which must double itself and return in itself as a farewell to this farewell, that is to say as a death of death itself (mors mortis, Luther’s expression which seems to me, more literally than any other, since it concerns the very death of God, to justify the syntagm of this farewell to farewell, of this farewell to the farewell to God, etc.). Inasmuch as we must pass through the death of God and by the name of God in order to think the negation of the negation, the speculative idealism would also represent a gigantic effort, in truth a superhuman effort, to understand, with the name of God, of course, what we say when we say ‘farewell’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 156 (#expands, via linked claim)
