Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976), one of the twentieth century's most influential theologians, strove to make the New Testament understandable to modern people. To accomplish this, he sought to discover new terms or concepts to convey the biblical message-- which he found in existential philosophy. Most widely known for his program for "demythologizing" the New Testament, he said that the New Testament conveyed its eternal truths through first-century myth (e.g., angels, demons, heaven, a heavenly redeemer, and so on), which needed a retranslation in existential terms. At heart, he was a churchman and sought by his unusual scholarship to bring to life the Christian message for his contemporaries. In this book, Morris Ashcraft provides a concise and reliable guide to Bultmann's system of thought and his continuing influence - from back of the book |
