Hermeneutics of Oscar Cullmann

Places Cullmann's approach to biblical interpretation within the broader context of the 20th century European theological debate. The "key players" in that debate were Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann and Oscar Cullmann, with each one reacting against 19th century liberal theology. This work also examines Cullmann's hermeneutics in relation to perspectives of other historical-critical scholars, Roman Catholic theologians, and proponents of the "new hermeneutic."
