History and Existential Theology is a focused study of the role of history in the thought of Rudolf Bultmann, one of the most influential New Testament scholars and theologians of the twentieth century.

Norman J. Young examines Bultmann’s engagement with history, existential interpretation, demythologising, faith, and the meaning of the New Testament in modern theological thought. The book sits at the intersection of biblical studies, Protestant theology, hermeneutics, existentialism, and historical criticism.
