This article explores the perceived tension between humanism and Christianity. Bultmann argues that the core principles of Christian faith, properly understood, are not antithetical to humanistic values. He emphasizes the importance of demythologizing the New Testament to reveal its existential message, which centers on individual responsibility and authentic selfhood. Bultmann suggests that this message aligns with humanism's focus on human agency and flourishing, and that embracing the kerygma can lead to a deeper and more meaningful human existence
