Supported by rudolf bultmann and will marxsen: for bultmann, the reality of the resurrection is that people who read about. Truth of faith does(cid:374)"t (cid:272)o(cid:373)e fro(cid:373) apostoli(cid:272) prea(cid:272)hing, but rather from jesus christ who enables apostolic preaching. Perceives resurrection narrative as a myth when it did indeed happen. Refuses to acknowledge objective reality which gives theology meaning: liberal interpretation. Supported by hans kung and james mackay. Resurrection is created or realized through the faith of the disciples. Dissatisfied with radical view: liberal view believes appearance stories are explanations, not myths, but are skeptic about the empty tomb and uneasy about the idea of resurrection as a miracle. Differences and similarities between radical and liberal interpretation.
