Rudolf Bultmann (Makers of the Modern Theological Mind)

How can modern scientific humanity grasp the complex and often mystical language of the Bible? Rudolf Bultmann (1884–1976), a devout Lutheran and one of the most prominent theologians of the 20th century, sought to answer this question. His groundbreaking concept of demythologising aimed to reinterpret Christian scripture in a way that resonates with the modern mind, helping individuals to truly "hear" and respond to the gospel message.

Whether you are a theology student, a pastor, or simply curious about the evolution of modern Christian thought, this book offers valuable insights into Bultmann’s enduring influence on contemporary theology.

Part of the Makers of the Modern Theological Mind series, this volume is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of influential theological figures and their contributions to today’s church.
