Talk by the Rev.
G. R. Beasley-Murray , Ph.D.
Tutor at
Spurgeon's College, London
The attempt made by Rudolf Bultmann to interpret the New Testament so that it would be understood by modern man led to the development of demythologising. This process has been strongly criticised for its sceptical attitude to the Gospels, its failure to recognise the enduring power of myth, and its lack of concern for historical truth.
Dr. Beasley-Murray shares in the opposition to Bultmann but recognises considerable contributions to New Testament study in his work. In this talk, while still disagreeing with Dr. Bultmann, he points out the positive contributions.
