“[Liberal Protestant Theology] renders innocuous the kenotic figure of revelation in the Cross and Resurrection, turing it into a mere ‘teaching’, or even a ‘metaphor’, instead of interpreting the form in all seriousness as the dramatic manifestation of the triune love of God and as God’s battle of love for mankind. It is not the harmlessness of a verbal teaching that snatches the rotting corpse of the sinner out of the sealed three-day-old tomb and revives the flagging courage of the disciples, sending them into the world as witnesses to the Resurrection.”
