Abstract
This work is an examination of Emmanuel Levinas’ use of the Christian idea of kenosis. It addresses the questions of Levinas’ Judaism, the effects of the Shoah on his faith, and to what extent his use of kenosis opens the door to a mutually transformative dialogue between his own thinking about God and that of Christianity.
