Synopsis

Exploring the many voices of Christology and what they mean for belief

This concise, sourced overview examines how theologians have described Jesus’ incarnation, self-emptying, and human suffering. It surveys key theories, contrasts different approaches, and considers their implications for faith and doctrine. The book helps readers weigh arguments across historical and modern debates without assuming a single right answer.

Designed for students, pastors, and curious readers, it presents a clear map of the major lines of thought. You’ll gain a grounded sense of how scholars argue about Christ’s nature, the limits of human understanding, and the drama of the Incarnation in everyday faith.

• Overview of major Christological theories on incarnation and kenosis
• Discussion of how different traditions handle human suffering in Christ
• Analysis of the strengths and criticisms of competing viewpoints
• Context for ongoing debates in theology and church teaching

Ideal for readers of Christian theology, seminary students, and anyone seeking a balanced introduction to these enduring questions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Humiliation of Christ no change -- has been made on the work as it appeared in the two previous editions. But it has occurred to me that it may be expected that I should take some notice of the views recently propounded in Keschs A graplia on the great Christological utterance of the Apostle Paul in Philippians ii. 511. I therefore offer here some remarks thereon, by way of preface. The views I refer to occur in an excursus on the Syrian Baptismal Liturgy of Severus, in connection with a group of apocryphal sayings concerning Christ sbaptism (A grapha, A pokryphon 5, pp. 357-372). To this Liturgy Kesch attaches considerable importance, as, although of late date (sixth century) and containing apocryphal elements, also preserving some fragments of the original evangelic tradition, as embodied in the Urevangelium, the Logia of Matthew, the no longer existing source of much of the material preserved in the Synoptical Gospels. A mong the genuine elements he reckons certain words ascribed to the Baptist in the narrative of the baptism of Jesus given in the Liturgy. In the Latin version by the editor of the Liturgy (F abricius Boderianus, Antwerp 1572) the passage is as follows: At ille dixit: Fieri non potest ut rapinam assumam, expressing the reluctance of the Baptist to administer the rite to Jesus. The important word, it will be seen at once, is rapinam. It recalls the dp7ra yp,6v of Phil. ii. 6.
