Default Bultmann on Romans

I remember reading somewhere that Bultmann had concluded that Rom.1.1-4 was a pre-Pauline address, which Paul had adopted to convey apostolic authority to the church at Rome. I can't remember where I read it.

Anyone got a specific reference for it?

Regards,
Rick

Try Bultmann's Theology of the New Testament (1948-53; ET, 1952-5; 2 vols). There is a section on the theology of Paul, naturally. No, I haven't read it, I just googled it.

best,

I love google

[Steve Carr] next claims that Rom. 1:1-4 "Romans 1:1-4 states that the gospel came from the scriptures and never states that the gospel came from eyewitnesses." First of all, the verses in question do not say that the gospel "came from" Scripture; in fact the verses say that coming of Jesus and his death and resurrection were promised in the Scripture. The testimony of the eyewitnesses simply confirms that these events did in fact occur as promised. If it were not for the eyewitnesses there would be no way of proving that Scripture had been fulfilled. The earliest Christians became Christians because of the testimony of Scripture and of that of the eyewitnesses. BTW, it is commonly recognized that at least portions of vs 3-4 are "a fragment of early Christian proclamation or confession, "a handed-down formula" (Bultmann, TNT, 1.49.)" [Fitzmyer, 229; Bultmann's book is his Theology of the New Testament, 2 vols. (SCM, 1952-5)]

Thanks Peter and Toto,

For anyone interested, according to Christopher G. Whitsett, in JBL 119:4 (2000), p.661, Peter and Toto were bang on regarding what I need to look for-- Rudolf Bultmann, Theology of the New Testament (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1951), 1:49.

The Whitsett article is a response to Bultmann, which Whitsett also informs me are far and few between, with Bultmann's interpretation being something of a standard.

When did the JBL archives become accessible to non-members? They're all up but the current issue! (except for vol.119, which can be found here) If I recall correctly, this wasn't always the case.

Regards,
Rick

I'm like, "Holy crap! That's awesome." But it only goes back to Winter 2000. More trips to the library for me...

Ah, sorry, my wording was a little deceptive. What I meant to say was "the archives that used to be restricted are. . .".

As far as I know, that's all you get if you're a member too though, with the addition of the current issue. Unless they've changed that too. . .

They need to get the sixties o/l--easily the most oft referenced in my experience.

Regards,
Rick
