This preoccupation contributed a lot, regrettably, to that faddism that was once so attribute of yank theology within the Sixties, the interval imme­ diately following the passing of a iteration of theological giants like Barth, Bultmann, Tillich, Gogarten, and the Niebuhrs. There has seldom been a interval during which such a lot of promissory notes have been issued so care­ lessly onto the highbrow marketplace, notes that weren't, and maybe couldn't, were redeemed. Given this mood of the days, it's tough to account for the virtually overall forget of the paintings of Professor Fritz Burl of Basel, whose "theolo­ gy of life" is without doubt one of the best and bold contempo­ rary makes an attempt to interpret the myths and emblems of the Christian religion by way of an existentialist philosophy. no matter if one have been to use that the majority superficial, notwithstanding for plenty of it sounds as if decisive, criterion of "radicality," one may have anticipated his paintings to draw a few sustained awareness be­ reason Buri has continually posed an intensive option to many of the hotly debated problems with the days: the matter of demythologization, the suggest­ ing of theological language, the issues raised through old feedback, and the that means of the historic Jesus for religion, to say a few.
