Reviews
Labron notes that the work of Bultmann has fallen into obscurity. If his work is mentioned these days, its fate is a dismissive nod consigning it to the dustbins of the past. Labron rightly argues that this situation is unjustifiable, a consequence of a failure to grasp the import of Bultmann's work. That failure is rooted in misunderstanding, which Karl Barth noted, was common among Bultmann's contemporary critics. Nothing has changed. The aim of his book is to unlock Bultmann's thought from obscurity and the prison of dismissive misunderstanding. He does not seek to gain uncritical acceptance of Bultmann's thought, but to reveal what Bultmann called the actual scandal of the gospel. Using his own work on Wittgenstein and post-structuralism he sets out to show that Bultmann's existentialism is actually opposed to Cartesian thought, thus requiring reassessment.

NormalfalsefalsefalseMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 ' Wittgenstein andTheology is a courageous statement in an age when few theologians are ableor willing to undertake such original and broad examinations of traditional andcontemporary questions. Labron has produced a work which will be of interest toboth Wittgenstein specialists and to those who are more generally interested inthe relationship between modern philosophy and theology in the Christiantradition.' - David Goodill OP, Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford, UK.

NormalfalsefalsefalseMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 'Only a fewyears ago taking a degree in Christian origins or Protestant Christian theologywould have included at least some acquaintance with Rudolf Bultmann. ButBultmann's writings, like Eliade's in the field of comparative religion, arenow more often criticized or simply ignored. Dr. Labron, while not overlookingthe problems with Bultmann's work, insists here on its perennial value forscholars in general and Christians in particular. He considers Bultmann's keypoint to be succinctly expressed in his exegesis of John 1:14a, underlining thedivine as the counter-pole to the human, and the incarnation as a deep paradox.Labron emphasizes Bultmann's radical, independent thought, while also lingeringon its deep points of similarity with Ludwig Wittgenstein. Bultmann's critique ofobjective historical research-stated more generally and in Christian terms: thehuman proclivity to justify oneself-encourages Labron to challenge some of thecurrent assumptions in the academic study of religion by honouring the role ofreligious observers. Indeed, throughout this book Labron seeks to unlock thepotential he sees in Bultmann to generate fresh thought and sound Christiantheology. This book is a superbtestimony to the creative energies of both these German and Canadian scholars.'- Michel Desjardins, Professorof Religion and Culture, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

NormalfalsefalsefalseMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 'Tim Labron has written a highly provocative book onWittgenstein and Theology. He argues that Wittgenstein's philosophy moves awayfrom the prevalent Western tradition of philosophy towards Jewish thought andfinally Christian thought. Whereas Western philosophy and theology largelyfollow the Platonic and Cartesian paths, Wittgenstein doesn't, not does Chalcedon. This is onlyone of the many challenging points of this clearly written and well-arguedstudy. It will no doubt provoke discussion about the relationship of Wittgenstein'sphilosophy to theology, and it should.' - IngolfU. Dalferth, ClaremontGraduate University, USAand University of Zurich, Switzerland.
