The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
My concern to assign a certain priority to the Jesus-kerygma is not mistaken or misguided. But does it require me to deny that the Christkerygma, in the sense of the proclamation of the crucified as risen, is in any way formally normative, because the Jesus-kerygma alone is thus normative?
I don't believe it does. But whether I'm right about this is the question I need to think through more adequately than I have so far succeeded in doing.
Presumably, some of those who shared in the experience of Easter and thereby became proclaimers of the Christ-kerygma had already "followed" Jesus during his lifetime and, out of their experience, had already become proclaimers of the Jesus-kerygma-and vice versa; i.e., some of those who had already "followed" Jesus during his lifetime and, out of their experience, had already become proclaimers of the Jesus-kerygma shared in the experience of Easter and thereby became proclaimers of the Christ-kerygma.
