THE ESCHATOLOGICAL VISION OF RUDOLF BULTMANN AND ELLEN WHITE

Abstract


 Rudolf Karl Bultmann (1884-1976) was a German Protestant theologian of the 20th century who influenced contemporary theology in multiple shades of Christianity. Ellen G. White (1827-1915), on the other hand, was an important American writer and co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Both authors developed an eschatology that encompasses, among other aspects, the attitude and action of believers today, as well as the essential personal contact with God through prayer and the proclamation of the Gospel. Therefore, the problem of this work is to identify common eschatological elements in these authors in order to establish a possible dialog on this theme in their writings. The aim of the study is to compare the eschatology of Rudolf Bultmann and Ellen G. White and verify their supposed implications. As for the methodology adopted, the research uses a qualitative approach, is of a pure and explanatory nature, and as for the procedures, it is a bibliographical research.
