Reissued here is the 1885 English translation of a revised 1883 version. Intended as a multi-volume work, this first book now stands as a self-contained work. A biblical scholar and orientalist, Wellhausen was professor of theology at Greifswald (until resigning for reasons of conscience) and then professor at Halle, Marburg and G ttingen. An early exponent of scientific philology, he placed the Pentateuch in a historical-social context, setting aside theological traditions. In this work, he sets out his method and argues that the Pentateuch is a synthesis of four independent narratives. He then examines the history of worship, sacrifice, sacred feasts, priests, and the law in ancient Israel. Wellhausen is a central figure in modern biblical studies, his theory dominated scholarship for a century, and his pioneering work remains of great interest in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julius Wellhausen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108053823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108053822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.28d","brand":"Julius Wellhausen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067079356671,"sku":"9781108053822","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d57c1e2-6d4b-4b08-9800-866d499a69ea.jpg?v=1685411067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prolegomena-to-the-history-of-julius-wellhausen-9781108053822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
