What is "kerygma" according to Bultmann?
A moral command
A set of laws
A theological school
Proclamation of faith
Answer
Proclamation of faith or kerygma, according to Bultmann, is the central message of Christianity that announces God's salvation through Jesus Christ. It proclaims the good news of forgiveness, redemption, and eternal life, calling individuals to respond with faith and repentance. The emphasis is not on theological doctrines but on the transformative power of the gospel message. This simplified understanding of kerygma has influenced modern theological thought and church proclamation.
