metadata.value: Some of the sayings of Jesus show that he did not possess omniscience. But this is
  incompatible with the Chalcedonian definition according to which in Christ the divine and human natures are united in one person. Traditional theology has therefore
  concluded that Christ’s ignorance was only apparent. However, the studies of
  the historical Jesus proved that Christ as man did not really know the time of the
  end of the world and his Second Coming. Moreover, he expected these events to
  come in the very near future. The article shows that the arguments of scholars are so
  conclusive that the incompatibility of the gospel testimonies with the Chalcedonian
  definition can be considered a well-established fact. These results of New Testament
  studies fundamentally change the situation in modern Christian theology: a
  literal understanding of the Chalcedonian formula became now not only difficult,
  but impossible. However, the Chalcedonian definition is only one possible way to
  describe the unity of the divine and the human in Christ. Alternative ways are not
  only theoretically possible, but have already been proposed and actually exist in
  Christian theology. The final section of the article briefly describes three such ways
  proposed by Karl Barth, Albert Schweitzer, and Paul Tillich.
