Whisky eller tonic? Narrativ eksistensteologi

At least since Svend Bjerg’s doctoral dissertation, narrative and existentialist theology has, in a Danish context, been considered to be fundamentally opposed to each other. The main goal of the present article is to question this dichotomy. The theoretical foundation for this is an evaluation of the strength of Bjerg’s critique of Rudolf Bultmann and his program of demythologization. This is succeeded by a new interpretation of Johannes Sløk’s authorship focusing on the category of ‘proclamation’, which points to the practical possibility of formulating a narrative existentialist theology, utilizing insights from both theological traditions.

C. K. Barrett on Rudolf Bultmann as Symposiarch at the 1954 SNTS General Meeting in Marburg

This article calls attention to an unpublished account of the 1954 General Meeting of SNTS in Marburg, written by C. K. Barrett. The interesting part of Barrett's account is its picture of Rudolf Bultmann who, after the evening sessions, with a group of colleagues withdrew to a pavement café at the Marktplatz and sat there ‘at the head in undisputed preeminence’.

Da correlação envolvendo o aspecto histórico da escritura e o su caráter de Logos entre o Kerygma e o processo de desmitologização em Rudolf Bultmann segundo Paul Ricoeur

Correlacionando o aspecto histórico da Escritura e a sua condição de logos, Rudolf Bultmann instaura um procedimento exegético-hermenêutico que traz como base a pesquisa histórico-crítica da Escritura e impõe a interpretação do logos como kerygma em um processo que envolve as possibilidades de conhecimento imbricadas em um determinado contexto histórico-cultural e implica a necessidade de corresponder à cosmovisão da epocalidade em curso. Dessa forma, baseado na análise crítica de Paul Ricoeur, o artigo se detém na desmitologização enquanto distinção entre kerygma e mito em um movimento que se sobrepõe ao artifício mitológico e converge para a interpelação do seu sentido originário através de um processo que, afinal, requer a sua permanência sob o horizonte da interpretação. Assim, o artigo assinala que Ricoeur mostra que Bultmann prescinde da reflexão envolvendo a linguagem lato sensu como objeto, sobrepondo à linguagem do mito a linguagem da fé em um movimento que, embora pretenda se sobrepor ao sacrificium intellectus, converge, afinal, para uma construção que tende a exigir o sacrificium intellectus nas fronteiras da desmitologização e na linguagem da fé que está implicada em seu processo.

Kajian Biblika 1korintus 15: 1-11 Bagi Pemahaman Iman Kristen Tentang Kebangkitan Yesus Kristus

The doctrine of the resurrection of Christ is one of the foundations in Christianity. But the foundation of this faith continues to be challenged and attacked. One of the attacks came from Rudolf Bultmann, who believed that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was only a spiritual awakening and not even an objective historical reality. In the Indonesian context, there is a tradition called "Rambu Solo." This tradition believes that the slaughter of a buffalo will contribute to keeping the spirits of the dead safe. The doctrine of the resurrection in Corinth was due to a problem of misunderstanding. These situations will continue to occur in various places. Therefore, this article examines Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 15, especially verses 1-11 as an attempt to answer the teachings and practices of life that do not understand the work of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The method used is the biblical exegesis of 1Corinthians 15: 1-11. It is through exegesis that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is an objective historical reality. That He did rise from physical death. The exegesis significance of 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 for Bultmann's teachings and the tradition of "Rambu Solo" indicate that the two are not biblical.

Introduction

The Gospel of John has long been recognized as being different from Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The theme of revelation and the portrayal of Jesus as descending from heaven are some of the more obvious and significant differences from the Synoptic Gospels. The theme of revelation is evident in the Gospel’s language and presentation of Jesus as the Revealer, but John’s revelatory perspective is often assumed. Revelation, which is the disclosure of knowledge by divine or supernatural means, is evident in Jesus’s signs, his teaching, the Gospel’s emphasis on sight, and its language of revealing, seeing, and knowing. The background for this revelatory telling of Jesus’s life may be found, not in Gnosticism as Rudolf Bultmann and others have argued, but in early Judaism. More particularly, the revelation portrayed in Jewish apocalypses offers insight into the Gospel’s central focus on the theme and its depiction of Jesus as the one who makes the Father known.

Translating, Summarising and Hidden Attribution: R. H. Lightfoot's Problematic Use of German Scholarship

The form-critical method found an English-speaking champion in R. H. Lightfoot of Oxford University. Through multiple publications he promoted the ideas of Rudolf Bultmann, Martin Dibelius and Ernst Lohmeyer. However, a close comparison of their texts reveals that Lightfoot sometimes simply translated the words of Dibelius and Lohmeyer, at times without appropriate attribution, and presented their ideas as his own. Recently discovered letters in the Lightfoot archive at Oxford University provide a more complete picture of Lightfoot's travels and interaction with German NT scholars. These discoveries call for a reassessment of Lightfoot's place in the history of NT scholarship.
