The term kenosis is derived from Phil. 2:7, which teaches that Christ 'emptied (ekenosen) Himself, taking the form of a servant.' The Kenoticists take this to mean that the Logos literally became, that is, was changed into a man by reducing (depotentiating) Himself, either wholly or in part, to the dimensions of a man, and then increased in wisdom and power until at last He again became God. This theory appeared in various forms, of which the most absolute is that of Gess, and for a time enjoyed considerable popularity.
