This article starts by examining the `shift' in thinking on kenosis from the sixteenth-century doctrine established by Lutheran orthodoxy to the nineteenth-century understanding developed by Gottfried Thomasius. Karl Barth's understanding of `kenotic Christology' was largely controlled by the nineteenth-century definition and, as a result, he rejected it. However, Barth's later treatment of the incarnation in CD IV/I provides resources for taking up the language of kenosis in a positive way that would be thoroughly `Reformed' in character. There are considerable theological gains to be made by such an approach.", pages = "243-251(9)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/ijst/2006/00000008/00000003/art00002" doi = "doi:10.1111/j.1468-2400.2006.00212.x" }
