"Beyond Bultmann points out the continuing importance of engaging and evaluating Bultmann as interpreter of the New Testament--in all of his historical, exegetical, and theological strengths and weaknesses. There is no better resource for this task than this critical and constructive study." -- Michael J Gorman, Raymond E Brown Professor of Biblical Studies & Theology, St Mary's Seminary & University, Baltimore
