“It may be said that myths give to the transcendent reality an immanent, this-worldly objectivity. Myths speak about gods and demons as powers on which man knows himself to be dependent, powers whose favors he needs, powers whose wrath he fears. Myths express the knowledge that man is not master of the world and his life, that the world within which he lives is full of riddles and mysteries and that human life also is full of riddles and mysteries.” KnowsMenWorldNeedsGivingHumansMaySaidRealityLife IsSpeakMysteryMastersMythFavorsHuman LifeDemonDependentWorldlyWrathObjectivityTranscendentRiddle Author:Rudolf Bultmann
