| Summary: | In the second chapter of the Prolegomena to his recent study ‘Salvation as History’ (Heil als Geschichte) Oscar Cullmann argues for the similarity of Rudolf Bultmann's theology and the gnosis of the second century. Cull-mann works out the comparison starting with both gnosticism and Bultmann's denial of the idea of salvation as history. And if; in the second century, the early church's struggle with gnosticism was really a matter of life and death, is there not, Cullmann asks, in the present theological debate something similar at stake? |
