内容説明
An exploration of two interlocking mysteries - the love of God and the nature of the universe. The Greek word kenosis, used by St Paul in Philippians 2.7 to describe the incarnation as God's emptying of himself, has suggested to some scholars that when the Word became flesh, it renounced divine power and knowledge. The idea of God sharing infinite experience has profound implications, both for the nature of God's action as creator and for ethics, and what divine restraint means for us as individuals.

内容説明
The development of kenotic ideas was one of the most important advances in theological thinking in the late twentieth century. In The Work of Love eleven foremost theologians and scientists discuss the kenotic view of creation, exploring the implications of this controverial perspective for Christian doctrine and the scientific enterprise generally. The authors' backgrounds are diverse-ranging from systematic theology to neuropsychology-yet each agrees in seeing creation as God's loving act of divine self-restriction. The key concept, kenosis ("self-emptying"), refers to God's voluntary limitation of his divine infinity in order to allow room for finite creatures who are truly free to be themselves. This engaging formulation of God's creative work challenges the common conception of God as a divine dictator and provides a more satisfying response to the perplexing problem of evil and suffering in the world. The fruit of discussions sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation, these stimulating chapters bring a needed interdisciplinary approach to this weighty new trajectory in Christian thought.
