Autor Bruce Lindley McCormack
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2023
This book is the first thoroughly Reformed version of kenotic Christology. It has the virtue of overcoming from within the logical aporia created by the Chalcedonian Definition without abandoning that Definition.

Cuprins

I. A Critical History of Kenotic Christologies and their Antecedents: An Overview: 1. Chalcedon and its legacy; 2. Self-emptying: as either depotentiation or divestment: the failure of nineteenth centure Kenoticism to repair Chalcedon; 3. Divine Kenosis as proper to the Eternal Son: Barth, Bulgakov and von Balthasar; 4. The Post-Barthian temptation: collapse of the Eternal Son into Jesus and surrender of an immanent trinity in protology; II. Returning to Holy Scripture: 5. The self-humiliating God in Paul's theology (and in Hebrews); 6. The Christological subject in the synoptics and in John; III. Repairing Chalcedon: 7. Towards a reformed version of Kenotic Christology; 8. Looking forward.

Recenzii

'Based on a lucidly presented history of Chalcedonian Christology and firmly grounded in biblical exegesis, Bruce McCormack advances a novel thesis: The shortcomings of Chalcedonian Christology can be repaired, if one maintains a precise understanding of kenosis as the 'ontological receptivity' of the eternal Son to the fate of the human Jesus. McCormack's view that divine passibility can be squared with divine immutability makes his readers hungry for the second volume of the promised trilogy.' Christoph Schwöbel, University of St Andrews
'McCormack's The Humility of the Eternal Son is constructive theology at its very best. He aims not only to solve theological periphera but those at the very heart of millennia old Christological debates. What is more, he realises this ambition informed by a breathtakingly mature knowledge of the Tradition and its aporias. As anyone familiar with McCormack's previous works would expect, his solutions emerge from a gospel-animated account of that which is central, namely God's lived relation to the world in Christ. And to this is added a sharply Protestant - in the best sense of that term - sensibility: to sift all things in light of the witness of Scripture to that centre. Hence, he simply refuses to allow biblical scholarship and theological reflection to run on alternative tracks but brings them both into dynamic, fruitful and sophisticated conversation. Here is constructive theology that takes seriously the advances and insights of New Testament scholarship to heart. McCormack's proposals relating to 'ontological receptivity' - and more besides - are also disarmingly beautiful. Reading his work led me to ponder again the breadth and length and height and depth of the love of Christ. What an astonishing start to the planned trilogy of books from the premier theologian of our age.' Chris Tilling, St. Mellitus College
'It is safe to say that no one today knows Karl Barth's theology better than Bruce McCormack, and even more certain that no one has thought more about its striking implications. We have accustomed ourselves to thinking that Barth is a fairly mainstream Reformed theologian. But, of course, he is not, and never really was. He was too original (e.g., his novel application of the doctrine of justification to theological epistemology), and even something of a rebel (e.g., his overturning of the Reformed doctrine of election). But, as McCormack shows in this book, the first of three projected volumes, we have still not grasped just how original Barth was. We can be sure that McCormack's conclusions will provoke much discussion, and we can be grateful for this, especially if it helps us to see something that has been revealed but not yet seen: the eternal – and not merely accidental – humility of the Son of God.' John Betz, University of Notre Dame
... this book will be epoch-making in the field of Christology. It is a masterful work of constructive theology.' SDMorrison.org
