Hi Gary,

The esoteric-exoteric divide is easily unified. I quote from p. 34 of my paper:

"There is nevertheless no getting around the fact that kenosis is a hard pill to swallow and it is not that surprising that many traditional religious interpretations concur with S that “God has no right to force such a choice upon man” and consider kenosis unsuitable for the masses who are at best expected to practice Darwinian “morality” (Nuesner&Chilton, 2006). Non-Darwinian mind (practicing kenosis towards full selflessness) being only for saviors and saints."

Check it out... you won't find fault with this biologist's sewing up of the mouse.
