'Cf. the Lutheran theologian Ernst Sartorius in his Lehre von der heiligen Liebe (1844) , Lehre ii. pp. 21 et seq.: "the Son of God veils his all-seeing eye and descends into human darkness and as child of man opens his eye as the gradually growing light of the world of humanity, until at the right hand of the Father he allows it to shine forth in all its glory." See Loofs, Art. "Kenosis" in Herzog-Hauck, Realentyklopddie (ed. 1901), x. 247.
