Summary: | More than seventy years after Rudolf Bultmann delivered his famous lecture on the topic of New Testament and Mythology in 1941initially on April 21 in Frankfurt am Main and again on June 4 in Alpirsbachthe program of demythologizing is still widely misunderstood, perhaps more so now than ever. Erroneous views have gradually accreted around Bultmann's original hermeneutic, so that now what is generally criticized under the name of demythologizing bears little resemblance to the intended program. |
