LOGOS: All the better. Many influential theologians wrote in German-Bultmann, Bonhoeffer, Barth-and German not only offers us a chance to obfuscate, it adds a tangy foreign flavor. For instance, there is Historic, meaning bare facts, Geschichte, meaning interpretive history...
...those who have mastered his convoluted German prose, Gogarten is regarded as a pioneering, creative theologian to rank with Karl Earth, Rudolph Bultmann, Paul Tillich and Reinhold Niebuhr. After World War I, when Earth published his monumental commentary on Romans, Gogarten was taking the same line in an equally slashing attack on theological liberalism called "Between the Times" - a title that Barth, Gogarten and other like-minded thinkers later used for a new theological journal in which they expounded the ideas of what came to be called neo-Orthodoxy. Even before Buber published his classic and Thou, Gogarten had worked...
Students cannot major in religion and must take the subject as an elective-but the courses are highly popular nonetheless. The Stanford emphasis is strongly contemporary. Brown teaches one course on modern theology on the work of Barth, Tillich, Bultmann and Reinhold Niebuhr, another on Christian ethics that ranges from sexual problems-to political responsibility. Novak traces the development of 20th century Catholic theology and literature, has gained his greatest student following with a course that explores the practical consequences of commitments to faith and atheism...

He has kind words to say for Protestant Demythologizer Rudolf Bultmann, carefully argues that parts of the Gospels are not historical in the modern sense, accepts the validity of form criticism, which assumes that certain sayings of Jesus were created by the early church. Under the circumstances, it is no surprise that the Vatican regards him as a rather disturbing thinker. Besides the normal prepublication censorship to which all priest-scholars must submit, McKenzie has to have...
