RUDOLF BULTMANN - Selected Problems of Existential Interpretation

Mgr. Jany Follprechtová RUDOLF BULTMANN - NĚKTERÉ PROBLÉMY EXISTENCIÁLNÍ INTERPRETACE RUDOLF BULTMANN - SELECTED PROBLEMS OF EXISTENTIAL INTERPRETATION The present work deals with the theology of Rudolf Bultmann. It aims not only to analyse the demytologisation programme but primarily to outline to what extent and how existential interpretation influenced his thinking, e.g. in eschatological study, the issue of historical Jesus, in sermons and in the relationship between man and God. The thesis covers the main ambiguities of Bultmann's system, principal critical reactions not only in Germany but also in the Czech Republic. His existential interpretation was a brave and totally adequate act in its time based on which the theology is topical even today
