Abstract

Christianity is a religion of divine teachings brought by Jesus Christ. At every religion there is a holy book to guide his people live in order to follow the path of truth. In its history, the holy book of Christianity is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. In this study, the discussion focused on the study of the New Testament, which in the history of manufacturing many bring up the pros and cons of the body of the Christian religion itself. As a result, the thinkings of liberal theologians about the New Testament lead to belief deterioration of the Christians scripture, especially against their god. So most of Western Europe at that time poor confidence in their own religion even some become atheists because everything is measured by the ratio (reason). One theologian was Rudolf K. Butimann who brought the concept of a new idea Demythology on a new testament. A theological debate of major was begun in 1941 by Rudolf Bultmann's conference "New Testament and Mythology" (Neus Testament und Mythologie; Germany). Demythology concept in new testament has proclaimed by Rudolf Bultmann; "it calls for the full time and strength of generation of theologians". In time, the New Testament called completely foreign to "modern man" who thinks "scientifically". Because this so, many men will not accept any of it piece by piece, that is exclusively mythological thing. It would be considered by Bultmann as motivational thought in demythologizing is "to make the New Testament relevant to the modern world era at all corner". His thought of demythology concept was based on modern-man era that couldn't received the reason about mythology things, a miracle by Christ in new testament wasn't going away by mind. Such as the law of the universe most influenced by man thought, so would be born a new conception that God as a thing or a behaviour as similar as human being who worshiping toward it. In this study, the writer use the method of literature with reference to the literature of Christianity especially in the New Testament. To solve the problems in this study, the writer used three main methods, the first descriptive method, with this method the authors describe the general view of the Christian religion and the symptoms that occur therein. Second, the method of analysis, the method used to analyze the sources of symptoms and gather as data. Third, a critical method, this method is used to conclude more specialized and criticized from the thoughts of theologians, and then draw conclusions about what they critique. The results of this research, the writer came to the conclusion that in the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century was a time of growing theological thought in Western Europe, in most of Germany. All that is in this world according to them must be separated from myth. There are things that must be digested by the human mind. This world has nothing to do with the world of mythological of divinity that does not make sense, which is written from various verses of the Christian gospel. Of the phenomenon, the writer attempted criticize their thinking that led to atheism. Which in essence humans will not be separated from the relationship between God and religion. Finally, from this simple study researcher hope to further research to examine in more detail the system of liberal Christian teachings which resulted in the development of western liberal thought that if left unchecked will result in the desecration of Islamic thought in the science of their orientalism. Hopefully there are still many shortcomings research may provide benefits to the dynamics of the development of Islamic thought.
