Page "religion" Paragraph 31

A second point requires more extended comment.

It will be recalled from the discussion in Section 7 that the position of the `` right '', as represented by Barth, rests on the following thesis: The only tenable alternative to Bultmann's position is a theology that ( 1 ) rejects or at least qualifies his unconditioned demand for demythologization and existential interpretation ; ;

( 2 ) accepts instead a special biblical hermeneutics or method of interpretation ; ;

and ( 3 ) in so doing, frees itself to give appropriate emphasis to the event Jesus Christ by means of statements that, from Bultmann's point of view, are mythological.
