BOTSCHAFT IN BILDERN - GERD THEISSEN KARTONIERT ...

Inspired by R. Bultmann=s program of demythologization  this text inquires into the truth of
mythical images in the Bible. It examines the various ways in which the Bible talks about God:
narratively  dialogically  and doxologically  as well as ethically  mystically  and
metaphysically. The Bible interprets Christological imagery as a kerygmatic message that leads
to confrontation with God  as poetic imagination that seeks existential fulfilment  as a world
of social symbols that creates sacred communal spaces. The ?demythologization= of this symbolic
world starts with faith in the Holy Spirit: the cross reveals our distance from God  and the
mystery of Easter renews God=s nearness to us as a resonance in human beings through the
Spirit. After 80 years  Bultmann=s programme of demythologization is in this way renewed and
continued kerygmatically and poetically  existentially and socially  cosmically and mystically.
The concern remains the same: to decipher the message of the Bible through its mythical images.
