Book Description:

English summary: Rudolf Bultmann believed reviews to be an essential part of academic work, and between 1908 and 1969 he wrote more than 250 reviews and research reports. The selection in this work, made by Matthias Dreher and Klaus W. Muller, covers all those aspects dealt with in his reviews and research reports: Bultmann's theological development, how this was influenced by his teachers and how he was able to break away from them, his analysis of the eminent theologians of his time - these are subjects which are accentuated in addition to his field of research, which encompassed not only theology but also classical philology and philosophy. German description: Rudolf Bultmann hielt das Rezensieren fur einen unverzichtbaren Bestandteil akademischer Arbeit und verfasste zwischen 1908 und 1969 uber 250 Rezensionen und Forschungsberichte. Mit der hier vorliegenden Auswahl wollen Matthias Dreher und Klaus W. Muller alle Aspekte der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit Bultmanns abdecken: Seine theologische Entwicklung, seine Pragung und seine Ablosung von seinen Lehrern, seine Auseinandersetzung mit bedeutenden Theologen seiner Zeit - all das soll ebenso zur Geltung kommen wie sein sich weit in Altphilologie und Philosophie entfaltendes Forschungsgebiet. Dabei fallt das Hauptgewicht auf Formgeschichte, Religionsgeschichte, Jesus und die Urgemeinde, Paulus und Johannes. Die Frage des Geschichtsverstandnisses und damit zusammenhangend auch die Frage nach sachgemasser Exegese und Hermeneutik verbinden sich naturgemass mit diesen Themen und ziehen sich durch das ganze rezensorische Werk Bultmanns.Ein umfangreiches Register hilft, den Gesamtbestand der Rezensionen erschliessen.Die Auswahl-Edition erlaubt Einblicke in die akademische Werkstatt eines der bedeutendsten Theologen des 20. Jahrhunderts und belegt eindrucklich Bultmanns bekanntes Votum, dass ihm ...entscheidend daran gelegen habe, die Einheit von Exegese und Theologie zu erstreben, und zwar in der Weise, dass der Exegese der Primat zukommt. (Exegetica, S. XXII).

Author Biography

Bultmann, Rudolf (Author)

Rudolf Bultmann, a highly acclaimed New Testament scholar, was born in the former German state of Oldenburg. His theological training, which began at the University of Tubingen in 1903, was subsequently carried out at the universities of Marburg and Berlin. Adolf von Harnack, Wilhelm Herrmann, and Johannes Weiss rank high among professors who most influenced Bultmann. In the course of his distinguished teaching career, brief appointments at the Universities of Marburg (1912-16), Breslau (1916-20), and Giessen (1920-21) were followed by a lengthy tenure at Marburg (1921-51) that put him in close association with the existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger. Already enamored of Herrmann's insight that theology must engage experience as well as concepts, Bultmann was drawn to Heidegger's understanding of existence with its distinctive emphasis on two modes of being-authenticity and inauthenticity. That perception of the human struggle significantly informed Bultmann's understanding of the New Testament message as a clarion summons to authentic existence. While Bultmann did not slight Paul in his biblical scholarship, most of his publications centered on the Gospels.

During his residency in Breslau, Bultmann completed his first major work (1921), whose English translation appeared in 1963 under the title The History of the Synoptic Tradition. The analysis quickly established Bultmann as a leading biblical scholar. It endorsed Martin Dibelius's idea that, if New Testament scholars were to further their understanding of the Gospel traditions, they would do well to adopt the form-critical methodology that Hermann Gunkel had successfully applied to Old Testament traditions.

Focusing on diverse literary forms as the starting point of his investigation into the nature of the earliest Christian communities, Bultmann seriously questioned the assumptions of liberal theology that the historical Jesus was, in fact, knowable in the Gospel narrative. He regarded as un
