Rudolf Bultmann
Rudolf Bultmann is one of the most widely known but least read theologians of the twentieth century. He is famous as the one who "demythologized" the New Testament, but very few understand what he meant by this or how his hermeneutical program connects to the other areas of his theological project. Bultmann presents a unique challenge to readers, not only because of his radical theological inquiry but also because of the way his ideas are worked out over time, primarily through short, occasional writings that present complex issues in a disarmingly straightforward manner. In this introduction to his theology--the first of its kind in more than twenty years--David W. Congdon guides readers through ten central themes in Bultmann's theology, ranging from eschatology and dialectic to freedom and advent. By gaining an understanding of these themes, students of Bultmann will have the necessary tools to understand and profit from his writings. The result is not only an accessible guide for those encountering Bultmann for the first time but also a cohesive, systematic presentation of his thought for those wondering how his work might speak to our current context.

New Testament Mythology and Other Basic Writings
Aside from the fact that it is perhaps the single most discussed and controversial theological writing of the century, no one knowledgeable of Bultmann's work could doubt its basic importance for his entire contribution. Although the position is for which it argues was hardly new, having already taken shape in several of his theological essays written during the 1920s, it is nevertheless the classic formulation of this position and as such incomparable in the Bultmann corpus.
Existence and Faith
The purpose of this book is to give a representative selection of Rudolf Bultmann's shorter writings. The volume includes at least one work from each of the five decades of his scholarly career; and the variety of the writings presented, on both bype and content, is virtually as great as that of his own authorship. Thus it is to be hoped that the book as a whole will contribute significantly to the more adequate understanding and critical appropriation of his achievement on the part of English-speaking readers.
Rudolf Bultmann
How does modern science respond to the "obsolete" language of Scripture? Bultmann's lifelong task as a devout Lutheran was to "demythologize" the Bible's message so people could hear the Christian gospel and respond authentically. He expands on the form criticism of Hermann Gunkel and Martin Dibelius. About the Makers of the Modern Theological Mind series Who are the thinkers that have shaped Christian theology in our time? This series tries to answer that question by providing a reliable guide to the ideas of the men who have significantly charted the theological seas of our century. Each major theologian is examined carefully and critically--his life, his theological method, his most germinal ideas, his weaknesses as a thinker, his place in the theological spectrum, and his chief contribution to the climate of theology today.
