Kenosis in Theosis

Theology

“These important essays presented here by Sigurd Lefsrud make up a remarkably harmonious book which shows how the life that God gives us through the Theo-Drama as theosis is gained with kenosis and the experience of death. In this academically learned yet spiritually rich book on Balthasar’s contribution to the theology of deification, we realize that love is grounded in Christ’s self-emptying example. Rooted in the depths of the unified Christian tradition, Lefsrud shows that the ethos of theosis is the fruit of a Christology of kenosis.”
