I don't think Anthony Le Donne or I would believe that a poll could replace genuine understanding and engagement. We would also both hold Bultmann in the highest regard. The poll is merely for curiosity because we noticed that Bultmann provokes such strong reactions.Chris Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007521996155910288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-85167870895364425632014-08-21T23:21:19.408-07:002014-08-21T23:21:19.408-07:00This is a silly question. Bultmann's questions...This is a silly question. Bultmann's questions and intentions have to be understood, not just judged by a poll. In my study time, 30 years ago, Bultmann was the "enemy" for all conservative students, and they condemned him without having read more than a few quotations. And although I disagree with his views in most exegetical questions (as documented in many of my publications on John, the HIstorical Jesus and NT Theology), I must say that he was a great systematic theologian (his exposition on Jhn 1:14 in his commentary is a brief manual of his whole theology of Divine revelation), with a focused and clear writing style we all can only learn from. <br />For most recent discussion see the book "Beyond Bultmann" (ed. by B. W. Longenecker and M. C. Parsons), just appeared in Baylor university press, with thorough articles on the various aspects of Bultmanns NT Theology (by S. Byrskog, C.K. Rowe, R. B. Hays U. Schnelle, John Barclay, R. Bauckham J.D.G. Dunn, L. Hurtado, W. Meeks, A. Standhartinger, F. Watson and myself).
