  1. demythologisation

    Demythologization as a hermeneutic approach to religious texts seeks to separate cosmological and historic claims from philosophical, ethical and theological teachings. Rudolf Bultmann (1884–1976) introduced the term demythologization (in German: Entmythologisierung) in this context, but the concept has earlier precedents.
