The Rev Dr Dennis Nineham , Warden of Keble College, Oxford, gives a critical appreciation of Rudolf Bultmann , the controversial German theologian who died last year. One of the great scholars of his generation, Bultmann's attempt to ' demythologise ' the New Testament, partly under the influence of his friend and colleague Martin Heidegger , has given rise to one of the most important religious debates of modern times.
