Exploring how divine omniscience and human consciousness relate in the Incarnation
This scholarly study examines the long-standing question of how our Lord’s perfect knowledge relates to His human awareness. It weighs different views, tests them against scripture, and argues for a clear, non‑homogeneous distinction between divine knowing and human knowing.
This edition focuses on the three early books of Powell’s plan, explaining the aims, method, and the historical backdrop that shapes the debate. It also asks what kinds of evidence can fairly test theories about the mind of Christ, without simplifying the mystery of the Incarnation.
- Clear explanation of the central problem: how omniscience and human consciousness can coexist in the person of Christ.
- Discussion of kenotic theories and their arguments, with careful analysis of key biblical passages.
- Comparison with other Christological statements to illuminate method and evidence.
- Attention to psychological analysis as a tool for understanding divine‑human knowledge.
Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, historically informed treatment of Christology and the nature of knowledge in the Incarnation.
