Wellhausen, Julius 1844-1918 creator text utu 2003 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Prolegomena to the History of Israel" by Julius Wellhausen is a biblical study published in 1878. This groundbreaking work formulated the documentary hypothesis, proposing that the Torah emerged from distinct sources written at different historical periods. Wellhausen argues that ancient Israelite religion evolved dramatically over time, with the Priestly laws traditionally attributed to Moses actually written during the Babylonian exile. His controversial analysis challenged fundamental assumptions about biblical origins, earning comparisons to Darwin's revolutionary impact on evolutionary science.
