Abstract
The topic which was originally approved for my thesis was "The Incarnational Theme in the Old Testament, Especially its Explication through the Term kābōd." During the course of my research, especially in my investigation of the root kbd, I concluded that the original designation of the topic was not the best way in which to formulate and thereby to describe my research and its results. Accordingly, I submit the following title as a more accurate reflection of my thesis: "The Use of the Hebrew Term kbd and Its Significance for the Incarnation"
With that restatement of the topic in mind, I outline my method ology as follov7s: Chapter I is devoted to linguistic considerations. The etymology of kbd is discussed and comparisons are made with other Semitic languages. The intent of this chapter is twofold. First of all, it is to examine kbd and its cognates in order to establish a range of meaning of the biblical term and to understand what may be unique about it. Secondly, the purpose is to isolate the particular meaning of kbd to discuss in the following chapters.
