Publisher's Synopsis
In a time where different and sometimes contradicting truths assert themselves almost on a daily basis the claim of truth and validity of the Christian faith must be reappraised and envisioned through a constant exegesis of biblical texts. The focus of the 20th Annual Meeting of the Rudolf Bultmann Society for Hermeneutical Theology was on finding an orientation in the various interpretations of main concepts and on formulating theological and philosophical concretions. This volume documents the outcome. The 20th anniversary has also been a reason for retrospect. Therefore, overviews of board members as well as topics and lectures from the Annual Meetings are accompanying two articles by the presidents of the board.
