reality of Christ’s manhood sometimes endangered? Was there a single or a double self-
consciousness in Christ? One or two wills? On what grounds is the Messianic consciousness of
Jesus denied? How can it be defended? Did Jesus regard the Messiahship merely as a dignity
that would be His in the future? Has the eschatological school any advantages over the liberal
school? How do the Reformed, the Lutheran, and the Roman Catholic conceptions of the union
of the two natures in Christ differ? What does the Formula Concordiae teach on this point?
What was the Giessen-Tuebingen controversy? How did Kant, Hegel, and Schleiermacher
conceive of this union? In what respect do the Kenosis theories reveal the influence of Hegel?
How did the modern conception of the immanence of God affect more recent Christologies? Is
Sanday’s psychological theory an acceptable construction?
