Bultmann in Retrospect

Abstract

This article reviews a large and stimulating monograph on Bultmann (Congdon 2015a), an impressive collection of articles on his Theology of the New Testament (Longenecker and Parsons 2014) and a valuable German resource for studying his oeuvre (Landmesser 2017). It sets these major contributions against a selection of important German research, notable English-language monographs, and takes notice of the material that has become available since Bultmann’s death in 1976, especially his correspondence. Renewed attention to this giant of theology and biblical scholarship is proving fruitful in new contexts.
