...Know Nothing." During the 1920s, Bultmann sealed the doom of the old quest, as far as Europe was concerned.* He argued that the Gospels were interested not in presenting a dispassionate portrait of Jesus but in expressing the kerygma-the proclamation of the early church's faith in a Risen Christ. This meant that although the New Testament might be a primary source for a study of the early church, it was only a secondary one for a life of Jesus.

...were "united for survival." A century ago, explorers and traders introduced camels to Australia, and a few wild ones can still be seen, bringing to the continent "an archaic. Biblical feeling." It is the man's nakedness that fills the painting with a feeling of doom. In mid-Australia, stripping off clcothes is legendarily the last crazed, automatic act of a man dying for lack of water in a wasteland-an act the Aussies laconically call "doing a thirst...
