Bultmann [Resurrection]

  • Aimed to prove that narratives of the life of JC were offering theology in story form and that the events are not historical. 
  • Thought that there was a historical JC who did exist who became known as JC from the gospel writers' description and legends
  • JC's death and birth is historical (proven) but his rebirth and resurrection are historic (believed to be true but not proven)
  • Bultmann believed the resurrection story was not historical but still had spiritual significance. 
  • His approach was to re-interpret the myths about JC in modern terms.
  • Bultmann highlights orrelation between faith and resurrection, only in the event of faith can we know God. The only knowledge of God which arises from out living encounter of God through the proclamation of the resurrection of the Crucified one. 
  • Bultmann seeks to take us beyond subjective and objective interpretations of the resurrection

Centrality of the Resurrection

  • Verified JC being the messiah, this means his promoses and teachings were true
  • Proves that God can have victory over death, proving his omnipotence
  • Opened ther way to eternal life for those who believe in JC and God
  • After dying for everyone's sins, JC gave humans the chance to access a relationship with both him and God
  • It follows a prohecy made by Jonah when he was trapped for three days and three nights; after the same amount of time JC resurrected and this proved that he was the 'Son of Man'
