I believe in the biblical historical Jesus

Abstract

"Rudolf Bulimann (1884-1976), a German theologian, held that we do not know much about the· historical Jesus. All ideas of supernatural nature in the Gospels, such as real iitcarnation, virgin birth, miracles and bodily-resurrection, are ip8o facto unhistorical but mythological, Bultmann argued. Further, the Synoptic Gospels give such a theological picture of Jesus that they cannot be historical. The historical Jesus is nearly lost from sight behind the "geschichtliche" Christ of the church's faith. But this, according to Bultmann, is no loss for theology, for faith cannot rest upon the security of historical research."
