What Christ did not bear, He did not save. How great is God's saving love? To what extent did God bear our humanity in order to save it? This book continues the work of the nineteenth century German theologian Wolfgang Friedrich Gess by exploring the depths of God's love in the Incarnation. Understanding these mysteries shows us our freedom as salvation begins in this life.

Did Jesus know all things like God the Father knows all things? Why do some passages of the New Testament suggest that Jesus had limited knowledge of divine things? If Jesus was in fact omniscient, how was this all-knowingness compatible with the limited knowledge of human nature? This book attempts to answer some of these difficult Christological questions.

In Philippians 2 St. Paul says that Christ "kenosis" (emptied Himself) to take on human form. Born from this term is Kenosis Christology. This book discusses the relevance of Kenosis Christology and its significance for the Christian thinker.
