Kierkegaard was utterly convinced that apologetics were a form of treason arising out of stupidity, and that whosoever invented them has been a second Judas within the Christian world. It is true however, that apologetics have been the concern of Christian Theologians throughout the History of the Church. The twentieth century does not constitute an exception to this rule in spite of the passionate warning of the Danish philosopher and its profound repercussions in the theology of K. Barth. The demythologization programme, championed by Rudolph Bultmann in the field of New Testament studies, seems to pursue once again the defence of Christian faith in the modern world.
