Cullmann, Oscar

A Dictionary of the Bible | 1997 | | Copyright

Cullmann, Oscar (1902–99). A NT scholar who taught both in France and Italy. His historical judgements (e.g. on the primacy of Peter) have been fairly conservative; he maintained against Bultmann that the Bible is a record of ‘saving history’. God's action in Christ was the culmination of the OT. It is the proper object of belief and should not be distorted into subjective terms of human self-understanding.
