| Summary: | In recent theology, kenosis has become a popular focal point around which to organize a concept of love. I locate one reason for such popularity in a response to the problematizing of love within postmodern theory. I then explore how Kierkegaard anticipates postmodern debates surrounding love and gift-theory while addressing significant questions differently, and within the context of a theology of creation. I argue that when his gift theory' and account of love are read in connection, far from defining love with a singular emphasis on kenotic self-gift,' Kierkegaard is seen to delineate a much broader vision of love which might inform our current context. |
