In orthodox Christianity, myth in Scripture makes objectifying claims about the real universe. However, with the prevalence of scientific reasoning in modern times, many theologians, including Earnest Wright, saw the need to demystify our understanding of historical biblical events in order to allow them to rationally integrate into our understanding of the laws of nature. nature. In attempting to demystify in this way, as Langdon Gilkey points out, many theologians have emptied scriptural language of all meaning because, for example, saying, “The Hebrews saw God working” makes no claim about what God actually did. Rudolf Bultmann's approach to interpreting Scripture uniquely preserves the sense of God as an actor while effectively eliminating the problem of biblical incompatibility with the natural universe by repositioning God's action in a personal frame of reference. Bultmann, who was heavily influenced by existentialist philosophy, notes that the realm of existential faith is very different from the realm of science and history, and he offers an analogical alternative for scriptures that fall within this realm of faith. For Schubert Ogden, this solution works but must be adapted. He has two valid criticisms of Bultmann's proposal: it fails to provide an analogy for understanding a demystified God, and it reverts to myth in describing the meaning of Christ. Ogden develops solutions that successfully address the two problems he encounters at Bultmann. He offers a meaningful analogy between God and God's action while maintaining Bultmann's existentialist subjectivity, and he presents a demythologized Christology while preserving the particularity of Christ so important to Christianity. As Ogden points out in the middle of the article.... ....cial in realizing the need to describe faith in the non-objectivizing terms of the existential. Unfortunately, his proposal has two problems. Both problems are successfully solved by Schubert Ogden. Ogden complements Bultmann's work by adding an analogy for understanding God through existentialism, and he further achieves Bultmann's goal because he demythologizes Christ while maintaining the importance of Christ as a particular source of self-realization.
