- Résumé : Kenotic theology, once considered a historical curiosity, is experiencing a remarkable resurgence that extends far beyond traditional theological circles. Contemporary thinkers such as David Bentley Hart and John Milbank have deeply engaged with kenotic ideas, applying them to a wide range of philosophical and theological questions. Hart, in particular, has explored how a kenotic understanding of God's relationship to the world might inform our approach to the problem of evil and the nature of divine freedom. Milbank, from his Radical Orthodoxy perspective, has considered how kenosis might reshape our understanding of divine power and the relationship between theology and secular thought. Perhaps most surprisingly, the concept of kenosis has found traction in unexpected intellectual quarters, largely due to the work of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. Despite his atheistic stance, Žižek has repeatedly engaged with Christian theology, particularly the notion of kenosis, seeing in it a powerful model for understanding subjectivity and revolutionary politics. His provocative readings of kenosis as a form of radical emptying that creates space for true freedom and ethical action have sparked discussions far beyond the boundaries of traditional theology. It is in this context of renewed interest in kenotic thought that Hugh Ross Mackintosh's The Person of Jesus Christ, first published in 1912, finds unexpected relevance. This seminal work in the development of British kenotic Christology offers fresh perspectives on the perennial questions of Christ's divinity and humanity. Mackintosh's nuanced approach to kenotic theory, which emphasizes the self-consciousness of Jesus as the starting point for Christological reflection, provides a sophisticated solution to the Christological dilemmas that have challenged theologians for centuries. His careful balance between historical-critical study of the Gospels and attention to the experience of believers anticipates many modern theological discussions, making The Person of Jesus Christ a bridge between classical Christian thought and contemporary critical approaches. Mackintosh's emphasis on the moral authority of Jesus as evidence of His divinity resonates with current theological concerns about the ethical implications of Christology. His insistence on connecting Christ's person to His saving work provides a model for integrating doctrinal reflection with pastoral application. This edition features a comprehensive introduction that situates Mackintosh's work within its historical context and traces its influence on subsequent theological developments in Scotland and beyond. The Person of Jesus Christ remains a challenging and rewarding text, offering profound insights into the nature of God, the meaning of the Incarnation, and the relationship between divinity and humanity. It invites readers to engage deeply with one of Christianity's central mysteries, providing resources for ongoing theological reflection in our contemporary world. Mackintosh's distinctively Scottish approach to theology, combining intellectual rigor with pastoral concern and evangelical warmth, continues to offer a compelling vision of how Christology can inform and enrich Christian life and practice in the 21st century.
