Kenotic Christology and the Nature of God

Abstract

Abstract Christians have traditionally believed that God is most fully revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, understood as both fully human and divine. Because Jesus is fully human, we can attain some understanding of his life; because he is fully divine, this understanding gives us insight into the heart of God. If this line of thought is sound, it follows that our understanding of God’s nature must be closely related to our Christology.
