What Christian denomination influenced Bultmann?
Baptist
Methodist
Catholic
Lutheran
Answer
The Lutheran denomination profoundly shaped Rudolf Bultmann's theological perspective. Grounded in the Lutheran emphasis on the distinction between law and gospel, Bultmann sought to interpret the New Testament in a way that emphasized the existential encounter with God's grace. He argued that the historical facts of Jesus' life were less significant than the existential encounter with the kerygma, or proclamation, of Jesus' death and resurrection.
