4.0 out of 5 stars HEIDEGGER AND BULTMANN, September 16, 2010

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: An Existentialist Theology: A Comparison of Heidegger and Bultmann (Hardcover)

John Macquarrie An Existentialist Theology:
A Comparison of Heidegger and Bultmann

(London, UK: SCM Press, 1955) 252 pages

A presentation, analysis, and evaluation of
the philosophy of Martin Heidegger
and the theology of Rudolf Bultmann.
Existential philosophy raises the basic questions of human existence,
to which New Testament theology (when demythologized)
may be at least the beginning of an answer.

To what degree does Authentic Existence
as described by existential philosophy
overlap with the life of faith
as described in the New Testament?

This is a difficult and challenging book.
But the careful reader will find plenty of food for thought.

James Leonard Park, once a student of John Macquarrie.
