Abstract
In spite of Rudolf Bultmann’s reputation for depreciating the value of the historical Jesus for Christian theology, his writings on Jesus, and those of his students, actually came to have a surprisingly strong influence on American Jesus scholarship, spawning two prominent schools of thought: that Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher, as Weiss had argued, and that Jesus actually rejected apocalyptic thinking. These options persist today in American biblical scholarship and both still stand under the long shadow of Bultmann.
