Criticizing and Considering the Perspective of Bultmann on Miracles

Many contemporary Christian theologians have attempted to show the consistent of the religious teachings with the ideas of modernism. Rudolf Bultmann is one of these theologians. By accepting the modern worldview unquestionably, he tries to coordinate it with the existential needs of modern man through presenting an ontological interpretation from religion. As a Christian theologian, he believes that the teachings of the New Testament are mythological and they are inconsistent with the worldview of the modern science. His solution is to demythologization from religious teachings and interprets them ontologically. One of the doctrines that have been strongly rejected by Bultmann is miracle. This paper has considered the position of Bultmann in this subject.
