In critical discussion with Collingwood, Loewith, and, in particular, Heidegger, Bultmann discusses the attempts of finding 'meaning' in history. History and Eschatology is one of the densest approaches to the understanding of history in the perspective of Christian theology. Although times have changed, and today's presuppositions are quite different, the book is still a valuable exercise in theological thinking and a 'must' for anyone who wants to understand Bultmann as exegete and theologian. Joerg Frey, Professor of New Testament Studies, University of Zurich History and Eschatology constitutes a real contribution to the discussion of the subjects with which Bultmann deals. We cannot judge him in these lectures either as theologian or as philosopher, but rather as one who, by the very exaggerations and perversities of which he is unquestionably guilty, shows us in occasional brilliant flashes of perception something of the inwardness of the way of faith. D. M. MacKinnon, The Journal of Theological Studies
