9780800630881: What Is Theology?: A New Agenda for Theology

Synopsis

Available in English for the first time, What Is Theology? presents a clear compendium of the theology of one of this century's giants.From 1926 to 1936 Rudolf Bultmann offered an introductory course in theology, the so-called theological encyclopedia, which he continually revised and refined. The work, finally published posthumously, shows the early, combative Bultmann struggling with inherited tradition and critical of Schleiermacher, Brunner, and Troeltsch. Yet it also presents "as useful a prolegomenon to his principal works as anything he subsequently offered," says translator Roy A. Harrisville, and discusses fully the relationship of biblical interpretation and systematic theology.

À propos de l?auteur

Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976) was perhaps the most influential New Testament scholar of the twentieth century. His History of the Synoptic Tradition, Theology of the New Testament, and his commentaries on The Gospel of John and The Johannine Epistles (Hermeneia) are lasting testimonies to his achievement.
