Table of contents: title: CONTENTS; title: PART I. THE PROBLEM; title: CHAPTER I; title: INTRODUCTORY; title: 1. The difficulty of the subject indicated : the need of courage and faith 3; title: The present state of thought renders silence impossible  6; title: 2. The manner of the Incarnation is ordinarily explained by theories that bear the generic name of Kenotic. Meaning of Kenosis explained : limitations in its use  8; title: 3. The problem of stating the manner of the Incarnation —; title: (a) is akin to that of the interaction of two personalities  9; title: (b) because, although the manhood of Christ is impersonal, He lives a personal life in manhood  11; title: (c) The difficulties arising from such a conception of His life are seen in the matter of His Will and His Knowledge 12; title: 4. The line of enquiry to be followed 14; title: 5. The limits within which the discussion will be conducted —; title: (a) The Creeds 18; title: (b) Recognition of Creeds is not a surrender of Reason.; title: The Creeds make articulate the experience of Christians. The work of Councils  20; title: (c) Appeal to Scripture is not an appeal from Dogma as such 21; title: 6. Some fundamental assumptions 22; title: A warning 23; title: CHAPTER II; title: THE CHRIST OF THE GOSPELS; title: The picture of Christ presented to us in the Gospels   24; title: 1. St. Mark's Gospel. Full analysis as giving the main outlines of the picture 25; title: 2. St. Matthew's Gospel. Extra details 30; title: 3. St. Luke's GospeL Extra details 31; title: 4. St. Luke on our Lord's Childhood 32; title: 5. St John's Gospel. Extra details in the picture of Christ  33; title: 6. In general it appears that the Evangelists state two sets of facts, those touching the divinity and those springing from the humanity of Christ, without any attempt at unifying their conception of the one Christ 34; title: Comparison of this, the Apostolic method, with the Rationalistic method followed by later writers   36; title: 7. The conception of Christ preserved in the Church of Jerusalem —; title: St. James 41; title: St. Peter 41; title: St. Jude 43; title: 8. The Christ of the Alexandrine Jewish Christian — Epistle to the Hebrews 43; title: 9. St. John and the doctrine of the Logos   47; title: 10. The beginnings of the true rationalism.; title: St. Paul 48; title: We leave the New Testament with two sets of facts, and a hint as to the direction in which their reconciliation lies  54; title: PART II. THE PROBLEM IN HISTORY; title: CHAPTER III; title: THE UNLIMITED LOGOS; title: The object of our enquiry is the self-conscious ego, or subject, of the manhood of the incarnate 59; title: 1. Athanasian Christology makes the subject to be the eternal, unlimited Logos, who from time to time limits Himself so as to allow manhood to act humanly   60; title: St. Ignatius, St. Justin, St. Irenaeus, St. Athanasius, St. Gregory of Nazianzum, St. Basil 60; title: This view has held its place in the Church : it is the outcome of the Apostolic method, as opposed to rationalism   60; title: Analysis of this view 61; title: The manhood can only act humanly when the Logos is quiescent. The self-limiting Logos is the ego of the man-hood 63; title: Hence the subject of the manhood is not permanent, since the self-limiting is only occasional 64; title: The great value of the Athanasian position in general   65; title: Two suggestions for the development of it —; title: (a) The act of self-limiting should be regarded as an act of the Logos within His unlimited and glorious sphere, not within the sphere of His life as Incarnate 65; title: (b) There is need to emphasize the place of the manhood in the relations of the Incarnate to the Father. Christ's soul is the necessary and everlasting medium of the consciousness of the Incarnate  66; title: 2. Cyrilline Christology makes the subject of the manhood the eternal, unlimited Logos. The manhood is regarded as being set free from all weaknesses that seem to be incompatible with the presence of unlimited divine powers in the Christ. Each human act of the Christ requires a powerful act of divine strength to restrain the divine nature for the moment, so that the human nature may be manifested in a human way 68; title: St. Cyril, St. Leo, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Hilary, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine 68; title: This view minimizes the reality of the manhood in order to maintain the unlimited extent of the exercise of divine power by the Christ 69; title: This view was emphasized by St. John of Damascus   72; title: It was made popular by St. Thomas Aquinas. It is common to almost all Catholic writers since his time    72; title: The main lines of the Cyrilline Christology are sacred to all Churchmen 73; title: In this special matter, however, they do not lead us to the light 75; title: Reasons for differing from the Cyrilline School   76; title: 3. Eutyches exaggerated the Cyrilline view. To him the manhood seemed to have been lost in the pleroma of the divine powers of the Christ 78; title: Monophysites and Monothelites also carried the Cyrilline view to its most extreme limit 79; title: Peter Lombard founded on the Cyrilline teaching his theory that is called Nihilianism 80; title: Lutheran divines were able to deduce from Cyrilline doctrine their view of a manhood sharing the divine attributes  80; title: CHAPTER IV; title: THE DIVINE-HUMAN; title: The opposite position to that of the Athanasians and the Cyrillines is that from which men seek the subject of Christ's manhood in a human person associated with the Logos, or in a composite personality, neither merely human nor purely divine 83; title: 1. Nestorianism is the classic attempt in this direction — Theodore of Mopsuestia and the Antiochene school  84 Nestorius 85; title: 2. Adoptionism is a reappearance of this view  86; title: Felix of Urgellis 86; title: One true thought behind much that is unthinkable  87; title: 3. Monothelites who aimed at a theory of a composite will in the Christ 88; title: These views based on three chief postulates —; title: (a) Manhood to be real must be personal  89; title: (b) The ego of the manhood must grow and advance humanly. Hence consciousness as human person must precede consciousness as Logos. The perfect consciousness is a composition of both   90; title: (c) The Logos must limit Himself so as to leave free the human consciousness 90; title: Domer has developed these views   91; title: They also colour much of the modem Christology that is known as Kenotic 91; title: Remarks on the theory of composite personality —; title: (a) The subject of manhood need not be merely human, so long as it is truly human   92; title: (b) Christ's manhood is not impersonal in the sense that it once existed apart from a personal subject. But it is permissible to name it impersonal because the person in whom it is constituted is not human  94; title: (c) The doctrine of the gradual development of the perfect, composite Christ-consciousness, out of the merely human consciousness of the Child Jesus and the Logos-consciousness of the self-limited Son, requires two centres of consciousness in the Child Christ 96; title: (d) The logical issue of this view is Nestorianism  98; title: (e) Atonement is inconceivable on this view 100; title: CHAPTER V; title: THE SELF-ABANDONED LOGOS; title: A third position is that from which men see the subject of the manhood in the eternal Logos self-limited or self-abandoned.; title: All theories so formed come under the general heading of Kenotic. 103; title: 1. The normal Kenotic doctrine is that the Son abandoned certain attributes of Godhead which belong to the outward activities of God, e.g. omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence. The Son thus ceases to exercise His eternal activities towards creation 104; title: Thomasius 105; title: Dr. Fair bairn 105; title: The result is a dual consciousness of the Christ. Some men hold that the Son also surrendered the moral attributes of God, and ceased from His life in the divine Being for thirty-three years 106; title: Gess 106; title: Godet  106; title: These men seek to avoid a duality of consciousness ; but their view endangers the dogma of God's Being   106; title: Hence a third course : to accept the idea of abandonment of the physical attributes, and to postulate a new kind of person, a new kind of consciousness: unique, partaking both of the divine and human 106; title: Professor Clarke 107; title: 2. Martensen is less extreme. He accepts the idea of a partial abandonment of physical attributes, and argues for a two-fold consciousness of the eternal Son. His weakest point is his reference to a human individuality  107; title: 3. Bishop Gore argues for an abandonment of physical attributes, real and thorough, but only within the limits of the Incarnate sphere. Outside that sphere the Logos continues in full activity and untouched glory. The weak point is the idea of abandonment, necessitating as it does a conception of two kinds of consciousness in the one eternal Son 110; title: 4. Remarks upon Kenotic theories.; title: The good service rendered by the authors of them  114; title: (a) These theories are unscriptural 115; title: (b) An examination of Phil. 11. 5-8 and 2 Cor. vm. 9 115; title: (c) The distinction between physical and moral attributes should not be overpressed. Omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence examined in their relation to the divine Love 119; title: (d) The idea of a self-abandoned Logos seems to preclude the thought of Resurrection, Ascension, and Glorification 123; title: (e) The Kenosis must be interpreted in view of the present self-limitation of the glorified Christ  125; title: (f) The use of the word "human" in regard to Christ requires careful explanation 127; title: (g) The word "state" as applied to the life of the Logos in glory and to His life on earth may easily mislead us. A state is merely the sum of certain relations 129; title: PART III. THE SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM; title: CHAPTER VI; title: AN ATTEMPTED SOLUTION; title: 1. The Person who became incarnate is purely divine  135; title: His incarnation did not remove Him from His eternal activities and relationships 136; title: He is in no sense a composite personality   136; title: The idea of the Incarnation 136; title: 2. His manhood is like ours in all things except sin  137; title: His sinlessness. His human limitations   138; title: He is self-restrained in the measure of the capacity of His manhood to mediate divine power 139; title: The self-limitation not absolute  140; title: The manhood is the perfectly real medium of Christ's relations with the universe 140; title: 3. His manhood is therefore the essential and permanent medium of His relations, as Incarnate, with the Father   141; title: Through manhood He receives all that He reveals to and bestows upon His people 141; title: 4. Hence the limits to the capacity of His human soul are the limits to the measure of the divine power that He can exercise 143; title: The one eternal Son thus stands in a dual relationship to us at one and the same moment ; the one based upon the exercise of unlimited divine power, the other upon the exercise of divine power limited by the capacity of His human soul 145; title: This second relationship is made articulate and permanent by its manifestation through a real manhood  148; title: These two relationships can be separated in thought: but only the lower and limited relationship can come under our observation 149; title: The assumption of the lower relationship is the proof of the divine self-humiliation 149; title: Difficulty of conceiving the dual relationship of one person  150; title: Analogy from experience 150; title: 5. Within the limited relationship of the Son to the universe, which is the sphere of the Incarnation, He is conscious of Himself as God-in-manhood, the measure of His self-consciousness being the capacity of His human soul  152; title: Analogies from experience 154; title: The two points of view : heavenly and earthly  156; title: The importance of the conception of a single consciousness of the Christ 157; title: Self-limitation is the act of the un-incamate Son  158; title: There is no self-consciousness of Christ other than as God-in-manhood  158; title: Danger of Cyrilline and Kenotic view, as suggesting dual consciousness within the sphere of the Incarnation  158; title: Summing up of the position 161; title: 6. Hence within the sphere of the Incarnation the self-limited Son is the very real and adequate subject of the manhood  162; title: He neither receives nor gives out except through His manhood 164; title: Analogy from experience 164; title: The thought of the self-accommodation of God to His children 167; title: The witness of Scripture to the reality of the revelation in manhood 168; title: 7. The Christ has a single self-consciousness as God-in-manhood ; but He has not a single will, whether simple or composite  169; title: He is a divine person ; His self cannot be isolated from His Nature. Will is a function of personality. He exercises divine will in the very act of the personal exercise of His human will 170; title: 8. Also His experience is truly Jiuman. Ail He, did and said and thought and felt was through His manhood  170; title: Yet He Himself is not human but divine   171; title: Distinction to be made in application of the term "human" to Christ and to us 171; title: 9. So also His example is truly human 172; title: Modem thought emphasizes its humanity   172; title: But Scripture lays stress on the Divine perfection as being our example, and on Christ as our help to attaining it  174; title: Christ is ultimately divine : and His example is never on the level of ours. He lifts us up to His level   174; title: He is the Saviour because He is not merely human   174; title: 10. The state of the Incarnation is permanent   174; title: The mystical body of Christ is the one term of the lower relationship of the Son to the universe ; He in His glorified manhood is the second term 175; title: Hence we may not predicate of the Incarnate Son any mode of self-limitation or any measure of unlimited power which is incompatible with His permanent life as Son of Man in glory 177; title: The self-limited Son is the permanent Mediator because the law of His self-restraint is at once permanent and progressive 177; title: CHAPTER VII; title: THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE CHRIST; title: We have to try our proposed solution of the problem by the test of Scripture. And first the evidence of the Gospels to the consciousness of Christ.; title: 1. The consciousness of the Incarnate in His mother's womb is measured by the capacity of His perfect yet infant soul  180; title: Bearing of the consciousness of the Infant Baptist on this point 181; title: 2. The consciousness of the Boy Jesus.; title: Self-consciousness as God the Son is mediated and measured by the soul of the Boy-nature. God-in-boyhood  182; title: 3. The Consciousness of the Man Jesus.; title: The Baptism shews the Son in manhood acting Godward  185; title: The revelation of glory exhibited and vindicated the self-consciousness of the Son 186; title: The Transfiguration further shews how His manhood held an essential place in His communion with the Father  187; title: 4. His foreknowledge of the Passion and His grief.; title: His manhood is the true medium of His truly human grief and sorrow   188; title: Soul-agony requires a personal manhood : the Son Himself was the subject of the agony 190; title: 5. The knowledge of Christ.; title: Discussion and classification of Gospel passages.; title: (a) Power of insight 193; title: Parallel with this, power of mystical unionwith the souls of the faithful people 193; title: Omnipresence is the source of insight   194; title: Conditioned omnipresence 194; title: (b) Power of foreknowledge 195; title: Parallel power of self-preservation   195; title: Omniscience is the source of foreknowledge   196; title: Conditioned omniscience 196; title: (c) Marvellous knowledge 196; title: Not beyond the power of human co-operation  197; title: Rarity of such exhibitions 197; title: (d) Limitations of knowledge 198; title: Passages discussed —; title: (i) Judgement Day unknown to the Son   198; title: (ii) "Who touched me?"  200; title: (iii) "How many loaves have ye?"   202; title: (iv) "Where have ye laid him?"   203; title: Relations of omnipotence and omniscience   204; title: 6. The astonishment and surprise of our Lord  206; title: 7. Our Lord is entirely infallible 207; title: Infallibility is assured to Him by the unity of His person  208; title: 8. Parallels between Christ's exhibitions of conditioned omnipotence and conditioned omniscience 210; title: Conditioned omnipresence 212; title: CHAPTER VIII; title: THE CHRIST AND EVIL SPIRITS; title: The Temptation not primarily for our example. It is the great battle of God against Satan for our souls 213; title: The power of the Victor is that which chiefly concerns us 213; title: 1. Living as God-in-manhood, depending for His self-consciousness on His human faculties, the Christ could be tempted by Satan as all men are 214; title: Human faculties are Satan's handles 215; title: In the case of Christ each temptation took account of the; title: possible presence of divine power 216; title: Each temptation was endured until it had spent itself   216; title: 2. The weapons of the Victor were human  217; title: 3. The power with which He wielded the weapons is divine 218; title: The divine power is conditioned and mediated by manhood  219; title: Criticism of humanitarian views 220; title: 4. The evidence from the Gospel account as to the behaviour of evil spirits to Christ confirms this view   221; title: CHAPTER IX; title: THE CHRIST AND HIS FELLOW-MEN; title: Christ lived in the world a man among men.; title: 1. His family-life 225; title: He was regarded as exceptionally wise : not as a worker of miracles, nor as possessed of miraculous powers and information 226; title: His relations expected nothing from Him of the kind that He actually displayed in His ministry  226; title: His mother's attitude 227; title: His fellow-townsmen rejected His Messianic claim because His early life had appeared normal 228; title: 2. His special friends and disciples 228; title: They recognized something normal, side by side with occasional startling phenomena 229; title: They could desert Him as a conquered man  230; title: Manhood concealed Deity humanly; glorified manhood reveals it 230; title: 3. The loneliness of Christ  231; title: His isolation from His fellows 231; title: He is truly human, yet independent of the human race  232; title: God in manhood 232; title: CHAPTER X; title: CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT; title: The weakness and the strength of the Christ must be reconciled in a unity 233; title: 1. The Gospels clearly assert normal human limitations and weakness  233; title: But there is no evidence that sickness touched Christ, nor anything that follows on inherited sin    234; title: Death had no power over Him that it did not receive from Him. He could resist corruption 234; title: 2. He had a power of self-preservation, yet its exercise was human 235; title: 3. His Miracles.; title: (a) The power was that of the Man Christ Jesus. But He is truly divine, and His power is divine conditioned in manhood 236; title: (b) As the Eternal Son He works always through the Holy Spirit. Essentially and necessarily the Incarnate acts in and through the Spirit   238; title: (c) But also the manhood of Christ was externally influenced and empowered by the Spirit   240; title: Hence the power is that of the Incarnate Son Himself, working with and through the Spirit, in two-fold relationship with Him, but always in the measure in whicn manhood was able to co-operate with divine power 241; title: 4. Thus we find a reconciliation of strength and weakness in the Christ 244; title: The human will of the Incarnate is the path of divine power 245; title: CHAPTER XI; title: CHRIST AND HIS FATHER; title: The dependence of the Incarnate upon His Father is shewn in His prayers  246; title: 1. The characteristics of Christ's prayers.; title: No sign of absence of divine power 248; title: Joyful acquiescence in the divine will  248; title: No evidence of the inactivity of the divine powers during prayer 248; title: Prayer is a personal act 249; title: It is primarily an act of communion 249; title: The Son is in eternal communion with the Father   249; title: "The Word was with God" 250; title: This eternal communion made manifest in and through the manhood 250; title: 2. The great prayer of our Lord in St. John xvii.; title: (a) He who prays is conscious of Himself as Son-in-manhood 250; title: (b) He speaks in certainty of being answered in accordance with His own will His will is laid side by side with the Father's will    251; title: (c) He prays quite humanly, through His human will in which His divine will is conditioned   252; title: 3. Our Lord's relation to Faith is different from ours   252; title: Definition of Faith as the power of spiritual vision   253; title: Did Christ exercise Faith? 253; title: That in Him which corresponds to Faith in us is perfect knowledge of God's purpose and power, and utter surrender to His will 256; title: Our Lord's relation to Hope 257; title: It is different from ours. In one sense He did not exercise Hope 257; title: Definition of Hope as the Power of uttermost obedience  258; title: That in Christ which corresponds to Hope in us is His power of obedient acceptance of foreseen suffering and death  258; title: Faith and Hope become articulate in prayer   258; title: 4. Our Lord's prayers may therefore be interpreted as follows : —; title: (a) Expressions of His self-consciousness as Son-humanhood 259; title: (b) The reception of the words of the Father   259; title: (c) The surrender of His will to the Father   260; title: (d) The joyous response of His heart to the Father's purpose 260; title: (e) The mysterious communion of the Incarnate with His Father through manhood   261; title: 5. The relation between the prayer of the Incarnate and the power that He possesses and bestows. His Will is the path by which God reaches us     261; title: Hence the value of the corporate prayer of the Body of Christ, the Church 261; title: Summary 262; title: CHAPTER XII; title: THE CHRIST IN HIS PASSION; title: How can the divine Son be the subject of a suffering manhood ? Cyrilline and Kenotic Christologians alike fail to meet the difficulty 264; title: Consider three chief manifestations by the Incarnate of personal grief and suffering.; title: 1. In the presence of the Greeks before His Passion   266; title: Reality of the agony 266; title: Personal suffering 266; title: Triumph of His will in prayer 267; title: The Father's answer received by the Son in manhood, humanly 267; title: 2.

Death followed by corruption is the penalty of sin   282; title: Death by way of transfiguration is not adequate to the redemption of the soul and body of a sinner  283; title: Christ conquered death by passing through it without allowing corruption to overtake Him 283; title: Divine power conditioned in manhood enabled him so to pass 283; title: The Incarnate in His soul passed into Hades : His limited consciousness 284; title: The body in the grave ceased for three days help to mediate His consciousness, but it was not separated from Him who is God the Son, nor did it see corruption  284; title: 2. Death of the soul is the last penalty of consummated sin  285; title: It results from blindness to God's presence, aggravated by the final withdrawal of the light of that presence   285; title: Christ endured the penalty of the withdrawal of the light  285; title: But He did not suffer the death of the soul, even as He did not suffer the corruption of the body  285; title: He endured, and in His will held fast to the Father   286; title: The unlimited Son could not have so suffered   286; title: The self-abandoned Son could not have so endured   286; title: But the self-limited Son could both suffer and endure   286; title: 3. The glory of the Risen Christ.; title: The manhood passed through death under the dominion of spiritual laws, and was empowered with divine strength and glorified 287; title: But He remains dependent upon His manhood for His medium of self-consciousness as Son in glorified manhood   287; title: His manhood is therefore the mirror in which we see all that can be known of God by us men 289; title: And it is the summing up of all that men can offer to God  289; title: Summary statement of the unity of the Christ, the divine Son in manhood, from conception in the womb to His present position as Head of the Church 290; title: 4. The perfecting of the Incarnate by the things that He suffered 291 God in manhood, God self-conscious in manhood, was not at His birth perfect in the sense of complete attainment  291; title: Two lines of advance —; title: (a) Self-realization as penitent Head of the redeemed race  291; title: (b) Self-realization as glorified in ascended manhood  292 God-in-infancy becomes God-in-manhood, manhood ascended and glorified 292; title: CHAPTER XIV; title: THE CHRIST AND THE DOCTRINE OF PERSONALITY; title: The proposed solution may be further tested in the light of the doctrine of personality 294; title: We try it by six characteristics of personality.; title: 1. Self-consciousness.; title: For us men it implies knowledge of self as we are   295; title: knowledge of self as different from others 296; title: knowledge of self as we are in God  296; title: In God the Son it means knowledge of Himself—; title: of Himself as distinct from Father and Son 297; title: of Himself in vital relations with Both  297; title: This self-knowledge carries with it, in virtue of the unity of the divine nature, complete knowledge of the Father and the Spirit, and of all the divine activities and works   297; title: Hence the self-consciousness of the Son is the ground of His omniscience 298; title: And His conditioning of self-oonsciousness, by willing to mediate it only by a human soul, requires a corresponding conditioning of omniscience 298; title: But the connection between self-consciousness and omniscience precludes the theory of an abandonment of the latter  298; title: 2. Self-determination.; title: For Us men it implies freedom to choose to correspond with God's ideal for us 298; title: In God the Son it means His almighty will, directed to the eternal realisation of His divine holiness  300; title: It is omnipotence : God's essential freedom and power   300; title: Creative omnipotence is a secondary idea  300; title: Self-determination conditioned in manhood involves conditioned omnipotence, and precludes abandonment of this attribute 301; title: 3. Self-identity.; title: For us men it implies the permanence of the basal self   301; title: In God the Son it means unchangeableness or eternity   302; title: Hence His ability to condition His divine attributes without danger to His divine nature 302; title: Analogy from experience 303; title: The Incarnation attests the personality of the Son   303; title: 4. Self-expression.; title: For us men it implies our selves and our necessary relationships 303; title: In God, the self-expression of the Father is the groundwork of the divine triune life 304; title: In God the Son it means His power of living eternally in His vital relationships with the Father and the Spirit, and of abiding permanently in assumed relations with the universe   304; title: Hence His self-expression is the basis of His omnipresence  305; title: Thus conditioned self-expression implies a conditioned omnipresence, while it forbids the thought of abandonment of this attribute 305; title: 5. Individuality.; title: For us men it means "lam always I," and yet "I am I and all of my friends that I can assimilate to myself"   306; title: The basal self is unique 307; title: The medium of self-consciousness is in no way unique. But I possess it in a unique mode. Hence the individual character of my personality 308; title: In God each Person possesses the Divine Nature in a mode peculiar to Himself 308; title: Idea of individuality of the Three Persons  309; title: Comparison of personality with Deity, not Divine personality with human  310; title: Why the Son became incarnate 313; title: 6  Unity.; title: For us men it implies the truth that the individual self is the unifying principle of all human activities and their fruits 315; title: In God the Son it means that He possesses and exercises all Divine powers in a mode peculiarly His own. The whole Divine Nature is His ; and in becoming incarnate He was able to condition it in and by manhood   316; title: Summary 317; title: CHAPTER XV; title: CONCLUSION; title: 1. Summary of the lines of thought we have described, and of the proposed solution  319; title: 2.
