Christology: Kenosis
The doctrine of Christ's self-emptying (kenosis): Jesus's assumption of human nature involved divine self-limitation or relinquishment of divine attributes.
Real World
19th-century theologian Charles Gore argued in 'Lux Mundi' (1889) that Jesus's limited historical knowledge (not knowing the date of the Last Judgement, Mark 13:32) was direct evidence of kenotic self-limitation — a claim still debated in Anglican theological colleges today.
Exam Focus
Anchor kenosis arguments in Philippians 2:7 and specify whether you mean metaphorical or literal self-emptying — examiners penalise vague answers.
