Description
"Brown's return to mainstream Christian theology and metaphysics is greatly welcomed. We are given here a fascinating survey, finely contextualized, and related to the prevalence of kenoticism in virtually all contemporary theologies of creation and incarnation." -- Brian Hebblethwaite, Queens' College, Cambridge "A clear and intriguing narrative. Brown gives a compelling account of why kenoticism makes an important contribution to our own time's attempts to think about the meaning of the incarnation." -- George Pattison, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, Oxford University ... an important contribution to historical and philosophical theology. -- Aaron Klink, Duke University -- Religious Studies Review Brown's writing is effortless and engaging, suitable for students to scholars. The book is a must read for anyone interested in kenotic Christianity or those concerned in the development and history of doctrine. -- Wm. Curtis Holtzen, Associate Professor of Philosophy & Theology, Hope International University -- Stone-Campbell Journal Brown has taken on one of the most intractable and important aspects of doctrine, where no ultimately satisfactory solution has yet to be given. As a constructive work it is brave, and as a historical survey it is unlikely to be bettered for a generation. -- The Church Times (London)
