Exploring Kenotic Christology: The Self-Emptying of God

This book, written by a team of Christian philosophers, theologians, and biblical scholars, explores the viability of a kenotic account of the incarnation. It is an attempt to make sense of the traditional Christian claim that Jesus of Nazareth was both human and divine by developing the ideathat to become human God the Son temporarily emptied himself of some of his divine attributes. Such a view of Jesus does full justice to the very human portraits of him found in the gospels, and it shows the depths of a divine love that is willing fully to embrace the human condition.
