Bultmann, Rudolf. Theology of the New Testament. (2 vols.) Trans. Kendrick Grobel. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1951-1955.
(Now available in one volume, this work represents Bultmann's understanding of the presuppositions and motifs that inform the theologies (Parts II & III of the work deal with the Theology of Paul and that of John respectively) of the New Testament. Significantly, Bultmann does not deal with a theology of Jesus, presumably because he is not (yet) a Christian but a Jew. He does open with a synthesis of Jesus' preaching.[Vanderbilt Divinity School Library description]) [BS2397 .B813 1970]

Naperville, IL: ALex R. Allenson, 1973.
(According to Schlatter, the only appropriate approach to the New Testament is in terms of a dialectic between dogmatic concern and historical distance, the former to ensure an openness to the message of the New Testament, the latter to avoid dogmatic subjectivity. The principles discussed in the essay remain influential in all subsequent attempts at a theological interpretation of the New Testament, even where the influence of Schlatter himself is not recognized.
