The aim of Odgaard Mollers book is threefold: The first main
section seeks to clarify how and why Jesus is presented in the
pre-1968 writings of the Danish theologian and philosopher K.E.
Logstrup (1905-1981). Throughout his work, Logstrups main focus has
been a rehabilitation of the insight that life is something
definite, because it is created. Here, Jesus primarily plays a
methodological/strategic role as the one confirming and giving
witness to Logstrups interpretation of created life in a given time
of his authorship. When faith in creation is formulated polemically
against another interpretation of life, Jesus serves as Logstrups
ally in this discussion. In the second main section, this
examination is extrapolated to include a discussion with Bultmann
and two of his students in order to clarify the character of his
Christology, not least whether -- or in what way -- this can be
characterised as implicit Christology. Finally, in the light of
Ricoeurs hermeneutic philosophy of religion, the third main section
considers the systematic-theological validity of this picture of
Jesus. The overall conclusion can be summed up in this way: The
main line in Logstrups work goes from created life to the human
being Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus incarnates created life; therefore
he is the true human being. This close connection between (created)
Life and (true) Human Being is the kernel in Logstrups thought.
This makes his perception of Jesus and his Christology distinctive,
original and specifically Logstrupian.
