Rudolf Bultmann: Interpreting Faith for the Modern Era
Bultmann's pioneering study of the New
Testament initiated a new era in biblical
studies in the Twentieth Century. Together
with Karl Barth, Bultmann broke with liberal
theology, but his often misunderstood
program of demythologization took him in a
radically different direction from Barth.
In
many respects Bultmann set the agenda for
biblical theology in the decades following
World War II. This volume concentrates on
the key texts and ideas in Bultmann's
thought. It presents the essential Bultmann
for students and the general reader. Roger
Johnson's introductory essay and notes on
the selected texts set Bultmann in his
historical context, chart the development of
his thought, and indicate the significance
of
his theology in the development of Christian
theology as a whole. Substantial selections
from Bultmann's work illustrate key
themes:
- God as "Wholly Other"
- Jesus and the Eschatological Kingdom
- Existentialist interpretation
- Kerygma
- Faith and Modernity in conflict
- Demythologizing: controversial slogan and theological focus
