Talk by Rudolf Bultmann read by the Rev. E. H. Robertson
The name of Bultmann is associated with the demythologising controversy. The main critics of his point of view have been seriously troubled about his attitude to historical happenings. In this talk he turns his attention to history and asks what kind of a pattern modern man expects to find in history. He claims that it is impossible for man to stand outside history and judge its movements and meaning. The nature of man is that he is totally at the mercy of history. In history there is nothing of absolute value: all values are relative.
