SynopsisIt was the famous Wellhausen hypothesis, elaborated and defended in his classic 'Prolegomena to the History of Ancient Israel', which more than any other single work of the mind revolutionized the critical understanding of the Hebrew Bible.Prior to the appearance of Wellhausen, the theory proposed by Graf had been all but neglected. In it Graf had argued that the Levitical Law and related sections of the Pentateuch were not written until the fall of the kingdom of Judah, and that the Pentateuch in its present form was not accepted as authoritative until the reformation of Ezra. With Wellhausen's brilliant analysis of the literature and penetrating consideration of the sources, the Graf theory was accepted. Although today Wellhausen has been modified and revised, the development of contemporary Biblical criticism owes its present vitality and scope to the pioneering investigations of Wellhausen.

Great classical book
Classical books like this need to be kept alive. I have been trying for years to get it, because this writer is a master if history, theology and getting his point across in an clear and understanding way. His book on the Pharisees is also available and I secured it too. This book helps us understand the Five Books if Moses and how the Refactor pieced together traditions to make one continuous story. This book is wonderful.
