It is striking that, although Bultmann speaks of "the question of truth" being raised by the plurality of religions and world views, he by and large uses terms other than "true" and "false" in assessing different possibilities of self-understanding -- such terms, e.g., as "right" (German: "legitim"), "legitimate[d]," "inadequate" (German: ''falsch''!) (History and Eschatology: 148 [Geschichte und Eschatologie: 177 f.]). He also drops the phrase, "the question of truth," in the context of discussing world views, etc. in favor of "the question of legitimate self-understanding" (148 [177]).
