Self-Emptying of Christ and the Christian

Theology

“Christian dialogue with Buddhism is today both interesting and necessary. In this clear, compelling, and most opportune study, theologian John Lounibos explores how the stirring Pauline hymn in Philippians 2 on the 'self-emptying' of Christ Jesus, a theme developed in the 'kenotic spirituality' of Paul Tillich, mirrors the 'non-self' teaching of Buddhism, and provides us an invaluable contact point for mutual dialogue and understanding.”
