Jesus and the Word by Rudolf Bultmann is one of the classic works of 20th-century New Testament scholarship, offering a profound exploration of the teaching of Jesus within its historical and theological context. Bultmann, one of the most influential biblical scholars of the modern era, examines the message proclaimed by Jesus before the emergence of the early Church. Rather than presenting a biography of Jesus, he focuses on the significance of Jesus' words, exploring themes of repentance, faith, the Kingdom of God, and the call to authentic discipleship. The book explores: The teaching of the historical Jesus The Kingdom of God in the Gospels Faith, repentance, and discipleship Jesus within first-century Judaism New Testament theology and biblical interpretation This title will appeal to readers interested in: New Testament studies and biblical theology The historical Jesus Biblical interpretation and hermeneutics Christian theology and biblical scholarship Twentieth-century theological thought Although Bultmann is well known for his programme of "demythologising" the New Testament, Jesus and the Word remains an accessible introduction to his understanding of Jesus' message and its enduring significance.
