Bultmann

by David M. Ferguson

This series offers a range of authoritative studies on people who have made an outstanding contribution to Christian thought and understanding. The series will range across the full spectrum of Christian thought to include Catholic and Protestant thinkers and to cover East and West, historical and contemporary figures. By and large, each volume will focus on a single "thinker", but occasionally the subject may be a movement or a school of thought. Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976) was a prolific and wide-ranging writer. Best known as a New Testament critic, he also contributed to systematic theology, history, philosophy, and hermeneutics. His work influenced several generations of Christian theologians, and it remains worthy of careful study. His reputation will surely endure as one of the leading theologians and biblical scholars of the twentieth century. This book provides a careful and scholarly survey of Bultmann's life and work. Exploring the historical context of his ideas, it explains their nature and significance. It also seeks to evaluate his thinking from the perspective of contemporary theology. Its comprehensiveness and clarity make it an excellent introduction for those unfamiliar with his work, and its theological sophistication and erudition render it of equal interest to professional theologians.
