...surroundings, the oryxes are kept in semi-isolation and watched constantly by zoo officials. All food and water equipment is sterilized, and the few visitors admitted to the enclosures are made to dunk their shoes in an antiseptic solution to keep out infection. To protect the oryxes from unfamiliar thorns, all cacti except giant saguaros have been removed, and the thorns of the saguaros have been clipped to a height above the reach of an oryx. Every day the zoo fills out a sheet for each animal, listing weather, temperature, food and water consumed, bowel movements, breeding (none...

For example, they reject the childhood narratives in Luke as fictitious and myth-laden, deny the accuracy of any of the Evangelists' chronologies. Of the detailed Passion narratives, they accept as historically sound the bare facts that Jesus went to Jerusalem at the end of his ministry, supped with his disciples sometime toward Passover, stood trial before Pilate and was crucified. Bultmann's disciples also reject, as a creation of the post-Easter church, any saying of Jesus that refers to his filial relation...
