One of the many things I love about theology is the impact individual phrases and sentences can make on me. They don’t have to be flashy, or long winded, or say anything new. But, on occasion, a few of them somehow stay in the back of my mind, drawing the energy of my thoughts, enticing me to worship and adoration. Here is just such a one:
‘Jesus Christ can only be preached as the crucified one’
-- David E. Garland, 1 Corinthians, (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2003)

Great quote. And to add a Bultmannian comment: Only when Jesus is preached as the Crucified does he become present as the Risen One!
Lovely!
Can you remember where you read this Bultmann quote?
nice post. thanks and God bless
Sorry, it's not actually a quote -- it's just my own paraphrase of one of Bultmann's central themes.
Mabuhai Jeff, thanks for visting.
Well, it's surely a nice summary.
