An exploration of two interlocking mysteries - the love of God and the nature of the universe. The Greek word kenosis, used by St Paul in Philippians 2.7 to describe the incarnation as God's emptying of himself, has suggested to some scholars that when the Word became flesh, it renounced divine power and knowledge. The idea of God sharing infinite experience has profound implications, both for the nature of God's action as creator and for ethics, and what divine restraint means for us as individuals.
