Kerygma (Greek κήρυγμα, kerygma, "message" ) is a technical term in theology and originally referred to the proclamation that is a given for baptism before being baptized. Nowadays, the kerygma generally refers to the proclamation of the Gospel, for example, in the sermon. Specifically, it is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In contrast, refers to the teaching of the baptism with the Didache.

The theology of Rudolf Bultmann seeks to demythologize the New Testament. In this context, a distinction is made between the historical Jesus of Nazareth and the kerygmatic Christ.
