4.9/5 (16193 ratings)

Description:“The theology of Rudolf Bultmann, one of the most important theologians of the 20th century, is clearly and brilliantly expounded in this volume.The material derives from lectures which D. Schmithals, professor at the University of Marburg, Germany, delivered on the occasion of Bultmann’s 80th birthday. It is the first introduction – written on the more popular level – to the whole of Bultmann’s theological thought. Addressed to an audience of widely differing backgrounds, the material sets forth Bultmann’s thought with particular vividness, making full use of quotations from his works. After an opening chapter, in the form of a short biography, the rest of the book covers all aspects of Bultmann’s work. Controversial issues, such as the program of ‘demythologizing’ and the possibility of knowledge about the ‘historical Jesus,’ have their prominence, but they are set in a proper context. The reader is reminded that Bultmann is also a distinguished New Testament scholar, and full attention is paid to his exposition of Paul and John, as well as to his background in the ‘dialectical theology’ of the 1920’s and to the basic principles which underlie his whole approach.Here is ‘biblical’ theology in the fullest sense. In this light, Bultmann’s notorious ‘scepticism’ is understood in its proper perspective. His intention, the reader will discover, is to serve the church of Jesus Christ.Dr. Schmithals was a pupil of Bultmann and Bultmann himself has said that this is the best book to have been written on his own theology. If clarity alone can produce understanding, then here is a notable contribution to the current debate.” - PublisherWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
