Abstract

The first aim of this article is to identify unclear or ambiguous points and some misconceptions about Bultmann’s theology and interpretation theory. The second aim of it is to explain these ambiguous and unclear points by tracing the origins of Bultmann’s theological ideas. Therefore we focus on Bultmann’s relationship with theologians and philosophers who inspired Bultmann. Bultmann’s originality is due to choice elements according to his own system of thought from these thinkers’ views.
