Rudolf Bultmann's radical theological inquiry, particularly his concept of "demythologizing" the New Testament, presents a challenge for readers. David W. Congdon's introduction explores ten central themes of Bultmann's theology, including eschatology, dialectic, freedom, and advent. This guide aims to equip students with the tools to understand Bultmann's complex ideas through his straightforward writings. It serves as both an accessible entry point for newcomers and a systematic overview for those seeking relevance in Bultmann's thought for contemporary issues.

Part intellectual history and part nuanced argument for change, this book explores how and why the question of what defines Christianity has become so vexing over the past century, and how believers could think differently about it in the future.

Christian universalism is an umbrella of different theological interpretations of the idea that all people will be saved. This book provides a concise guide to four distinct versions of Christian universal salvation.
