Summary

Christology and Myth in the New Testament (1956) enquires into the extent and origin of the ‘mythological’ language and ideas underlying the Christology of the New Testament. It examines the ‘demythologizing’ principles, and considers that the ‘mythical’ Christology should be understood poetically and metaphorically.
