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
