Among others, Rudolf Bultmann suggested that the text of the gospel is partially out of order ; for instance, chapter 6 should follow chapter 4:

During the mid-twentieth century, when the literary genre of the NT gospels was under debate, scholars like C. H. Dodd and Rudolf Bultmann suggested that the gospels were of a genre totally unique in the ancient world.

While this theory, first propounded by Ernst von Dobschütz and Rudolf Bultmann, is not universally accepted, Amos Wilder writes that, " it is at least clear that there are considerable and sometimes continuous elements in the epistle whose style distinguishes them from that of the author both with respect to poetic structure and syntactic usage.

Bultmonn said, “ As from now on there are only believers and unbelievers, so there are also now only saved and lost, those who have life and those who are in death ” – Rudolf Bultmann, The Gospel of John, p. 155

In a note, Kirby states, " A very abbreviated list of twentieth-century writers on the NT who do not believe that the empty tomb is historically reliable: Marcus Borg, Günther Bornkamm, Gerald Boldock Bostock, Rudolf Bultmann, Peter Carnley, John Dominic Crossan, Stevan Davies, Maurice Goguel, Michael Goulder, Hans Grass, Charles Guignebert, Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Randel Helms, Herman Hendrikx, Roy Hoover, Helmut Koester, Hans Küng, Alfred Loisy, Burton L. Mack, Willi Marxsen, Gerd Lüdemann, Norman Perrin, Robert M. Price, Marianne Sawicki, John Shelby Spong, Howard M. Teeple, and John T.

Rudolf Bultmonn said about salvation and eternity-“ As from now on there are only believers and unbelievers, so there are also now only saved and lost, those who have life and those who are in death ” – Rudolf Bultmann, The Gospel of John, p. 155

Bultmann held to a conservative dating of the Gospel of John: late first-century prior to the second century.

Christian existentialists include German Protestant theologians Paul Tillich and Rudolph Bultmann, British Anglican theologian John Macquarrie, American theologians Craig J. N. de Paulo and Lincoln Swain, American philosopher Clifford Williams, European philosophers Karl Jaspers, Gabriel Marcel, Emmanuel Mounier, Miguel de Unamuno and Pierre Boutang, and Russian philosophers Nikolai Berdyaev and Lev Shestov.

Examples of important liberal Christian thinkers are Rudolf Bultmann and John A. T. Robinson.

Bultmann has called John 20: 9 " a gloss of the ecclesiastical redaction " and argues that the verse is a later addition to the text.

Following Rudolf Bultmann, he believes there is an earlier " Signs Source " for John as well.

We have aligned ourselves with that `` liberal '' tradition in Protestant Christianity that counts among the great names in its history those of Schleiermacher, Ritschl, Herrmann, Harnack, and Troeltsch, and more recently, Schweitzer and the early Barth and, in part at least, Bultmann.

Therefore, the only conceivable alternatives are those represented, on the one hand, by the two at least apparently self-consistent but mutually exclusive positions of Buri and Barth and, on the other hand, by the third but really pseudo position ( analogous to a round square ) of Bultmann.

A former student of Bultmann, Eta Linnemann, followed by F. David Farnell, is the best known proponent of a simultaneous priority of Matthew and Mark under the Mosaic requirement that " on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed " ( Deuteronomy 19: 5 ).

A variant of the Augustinian hypothesis, attempting to synchronise Matthew and Mark on the basis of the Mosaic " two witnesses " requirement of Deuteronomy 19: 5 ( Matthew + Mark, → Luke ), was proposed by Eta Linnemann, following rejection of the view of her teacher Rudolf Bultmann.

Memories of Rudolf Bultmann and Reflections on the Philosophical Aspects of His Work.

Barth and Bultmann accepted that little could be said with certainty about the historical Jesus, and concentrated instead on the kerygma, or message, of the New Testament.

The conservative and confessing Lutheran theologian, Walter Kunneth, provided some interesting insights on Bultmann in his Die Theologie der Auferstehung.

Though he had planned to write his dissertation on Bultmann, his supervisor, Peter Brunner, advised him to work on Karl Barth's doctrine of election.

In 1926 Heinemann married Hilda Ordemann, who had been a student of Rudolf Bultmann, the famous Protestant theologian.

* Rudolf Karl Bultmann ( 1884 – 1976 ): a New Testament scholar who defined an almost complete split between history and faith, called demythology.

Rudolf Karl Bultmann ( August 20, 1884, Wiefelstede – July 30, 1976, Marburg ) was a German Lutheran theologian and New Testament scholar who was one of the major figures of 20th century biblical studies and a prominent voice in liberal Christianity.

His History of the Synoptic Tradition ( 1921 ) remains highly influential as a tool for biblical research, even by scholars who reject his analyses of the conventional rhetorical pericopes or narrative units of which the Gospels are assembled, and the historically-oriented principles called " form criticism " of which Bultmann has been the most influential exponent:

In both the boasting of legalists " who are faithful to the law ," and the boasting of the philosophers " who are proud of their wisdom ," Bultmann finds a " basic human attitude " of " highhandedness that tries to bring within our own power even the submission that we know to be our authentic being.

Other influences at Luther Seminary included Edmund Smits, who introduced Jenson to the work of Augustine, and fellow-student Gerhard Forde, who introduced him to the work of Rudolf Bultmann.

Rudolf Bultmann ( who was associated with Barth and Brunner in the 1920s in particular ) was strongly influenced by his former colleague at Marburg, the German existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger.

Consequently, the work of Walter Brueggemann, Rudolf Bultmann, and other such scholars who reject these beliefs is not dealt with in the discipline.

He has been highly critical of scholars, such as Rudolf Bultmann, who have used third and fourth century AD Gnostic texts as primary evidence for the existence of pre-Christian gnosticism.

The statement is often made that when Bultmann argues in this way, he `` overestimates the intellectual stumbling-block which myth is supposed to put in the way of accepting the Christian faith ''.

We may show, first, that there cannot possibly be an alternative other than the three typically represented by Bultmann, Barth, and Buri.

Among this group are Allan, Beare, Brandon, Bultmann, Conzelmann, Dibelius, Goodspeed, Kilsemann, J. Knox, W. L.

The hypothesis of the Gospel being composed in layers over a period of time had its start with Rudolf Bultmann in 1941.

His colleagues there included Rudolf Bultmann, Nicolai Hartmann, and Paul Natorp.

A return to the traditional view is found in the hypothesis of Eta Linnemann, formerly a pupil of Bultmann, that Matthew and Mark were written together as " two witnesses " required by Mosaic law.

Jaspers also entered public debates with Rudolf Bultmann, wherein Jaspers roundly criticized Bultmann's " demythologizing " of Christianity.

Albert Schweitzer, Rudolf Bultmann, Norman Perrin and Johannes Weiss argued that Jesus ’ " kingdom " was intended to be a wholly futuristic kingdom.

He studied philosophy and theology in Freiburg, Berlin and Heidelberg, and finally achieved his Doctor of Philosophy at Marburg where he studied under Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Rudolf Bultmann.
