It is difficult to overestimate the singularity of Rudolf Bultmann. Bultmann's Theology of the New Testament changed the course of New Testament interpretation and has continued to influence the field until today. As ambitious in scope as it is consistent in method, Bultmann's volume asks and provides answers to the big questions. Bultmann also found a way to wed a sober-minded commitment to historical reconstruction to his deep desire for the New Testament to speak to contemporary humans.

Review

"The penetrating essays in this book analyze Bultmann's theology, applauding its strengths while also criticizing its weaknesses. This is a richly rewarding volume that newly assesses the ongoing significance of Bultmann for contemporary New Testament theology."--Donald A. Hagner, George Eldon Ladd Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary

"In Beyond Bultmann, leading New Testament scholars are trenchant in their criticisms of Bultmann's theological interpretation of the New Testament, but succeed brilliantly in clarifying Bultmann's aims and achievements. Beyond Bultmann shows the possibilities and pitfalls of a traditional discipline now capable of addressing a more secular audience."--Rev. Robert Morgan, Fellow of Linacre College, University of Oxford

"Beyond Bultmann points out the continuing importance of engaging and evaluating Bultmann as interpreter of the New Testament--in all of his historical, exegetical, and theological strengths and weaknesses. There is no better resource for this task than this critical and constructive study. "--Michael J. Gorman, Raymond E. Brown Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology, St. Mary's Seminary & University, Baltimore
