      Book Overview

      Rudolf Bultmann's courageous thought has been right at the centre of living Christian theology ever since the 1940s. There is no doubt that his challenge will be equally crucial for the 1960s. What we have so far lacked is an account of Bultmannism' clearly stating its message for preachers and lay people. Now Dr Bultmann has himself supplied this lack, and has taken the opportunity of making his position sharply clear in response to criticism that he is abandoning the essence of Christianity. For all who ask how Christianity can be restated without the 'myths' of the first century, the appearance of this short book is a help and an encouragement.

I had read a good deal about Bultmann's thought in other theology books, but this was the first of his actual works I read, and it was certainly worth reading. Bultmann's...

      Great!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This is an amazing book! It is an elegant reevaluation of whatis important in the Bible. Bultmann is an excellent New Testamentscholar, and he puts his knowledge to good use in this book. His use of existential philosophy is also very interesting. He really strips away a lot of the trappings of the Bible to get to the heart of its message. He is also a very good writer, and everything he says is very clearly conveyed...
