BULTMANN, Rudolf

BULTMANN, Rudolf
(1884-1976)
   from 1921 until 1951 professor of NEW TESTAMENT studies at Marburg. Bultmann developed the method of FORM-CRITICISM as a radical methodological SKEPTICISM. With this historical skepticism he combined DIALECTICAL THEOLOGY and the LUTHERAN DOCTRINE of sola fide (faith alone) to create an EPISTEMOLOGY that separated HISTORY and FAITH. In his later work he developed a program of DEMYTHOLOGIZING of the NEW TESTAMENT in terms of the existentialist PHILOSOPHY of Martin HEIDEGGER. His works include The History of the Synoptic Tradition (1921), Jesus Christ and Mythology (1960) and Theology of the New Testament (1952 and 1955 Vols. 1 and 2).
