	Julius Wellhausen Summary
		WELLHAUSEN, JULIUS (1844–1918), was a German Orientalist of signal importance for the study of the history of ancient Israel and early Islam.
		Wellhausen's works are outstanding not only for their masterful command of the source materials but also for an excellent and impressive style that is particularly conspicuous in his translations.
		Wellhausen was famous for his critical investigations into Old Testament history and the composition of the Hexateuch, the uncompromising scientific attitude he adopted in testing its problems bringing him into antagonism with the older school of biblical interpreters.

	On Bible Criticism and Its Counterarguments
		The proponent of this theory was Julius Wellhausen (1844-1918), a German Semitic scholar and professor of theology and oriental studies.
		Wellhausen, however, was not the first to doubt the "authenticity" of the Torah.
		It became increasingly clear that Wellhausen's theory of the history of Judaism was inadequate.

		Nonetheless, the critical scholars have to admit that their literary expedients break, not only the logical, but also the grammatical sequence of the passages.

	Wellhausen Goes to Yale
		In Wellhausen's reconstruction, the venerable old Elohist turned out to be a dolt: repetitious, obsessed with genealogy and legal minutia, lacking narrative "voice," and worst of all for Protestants, a priest.
		Wellhausen, who is rightly credited with recognizing in the Yahwist a budding historical ingenue, spoke of the Priestly writer as a deceiver, as one who sought to disguise his true historical distance from the matters he was reporting in order to trick his leaders into thinking they had before them accurate historical records.
		Many defended Wellhausen against charges of anti-Semitism by correctly pointing out that he was evenhanded in his negative judgments: his hostility was directed at all forms of orthodoxy, as he defined these.

	Nicholson, The Pentateuch in the Twentieth Century: The Legacy of Julius Wellhausen
		Wellhausen, like several of his contemporaries, contributed to and modified this theory but did not invent it.
		If anything, Wellhausen might be associated especially with the notion that P is late, since he devotes much of the Prolegomena to defending this thesis.
		I suspect that Wellhausen's legacy will be fully realized and, perhaps, surpassed only when the insights of legal history, narrative analysis, comparative literatures of the ancient world, and other disciplines are harnessed along with inductive compositional analysis to create a broader analytical framework for understanding the Pentateuch.

	Article-The Pentateuch in the Twentieth Century- The Legacy of Julius Wellhausen
		Despite innumerable studies from at least the time of the Reformation, it was not until little more than a century ago that one hypothesis concerning the origin of the Pentateuch, the so-called `Documentary Theory' formulated by Julius Wellhausen, established itself as the point of departure for all subsequent study of this topic.
		Professor Nicholson argues that the work of Wellhausen, for all that it needs revision and development in detail, remains the securest basis for understanding the Pentateuch.
		The book is not a mere call to go `back to Wellhausen', however, for Professor Nicholson also shows that much in the intervening debate has significantly modified his conclusions, as well as asking questions that were not on Wellhausen's agenda.

		Rather, Wellhausen suggested that the Pentateuch is a composite originating from four sources that he designated as J, E, P and D. J stood for Jehovah and referred to those documents in which God is identified by his four-letter name.
		Wellhausen believed that the D source possibly originated in the era of a late Judean king.

		For Bultmann the general results of Gunkel's reasoning were already "accepted history," and for Gunkel the reasonings of Julius Wellhausen and of his predecessors in the liberal Protestant school were accepted as well.
		Defense of the historicity of the biblical accounts is a challenge, and the discovery throughout the text of answers to the "unanswerable" objections of form-critics is a reward in itself, leading to the perception of new meanings in the Bible.
		Wellhausen stated very clearly the fundamental assumption that the tradition consists of individual stories or groups of stories joined together in the Gospels by the work of the editors.

	Catholic Apologetics International - Robert Sungenis
		For those biblical scholars who have had the unfortunate experience of having the JEPD theory of the Documentary Hypothesis jammed down their throats the past forty years in Catholic biblical scholarship, and as long since the time of Julius Wellhausen in the late 1800s, this will be a real treat.
		If it were possible, his paper should be at the head of every Bible issued today, to make up for the fabrications perpetrated on the public by the fantasies of Julius Wellhausen and company for the past hundred and fifty years.
		Wellhausen himself had in fact acknowledged that the result of all of this dissecting was "an agglomeration of fragments"

		It is argued, for example, that material which appears technical must be assigned a late date—even if a great variety of evidence reflects an earlier period of composition.
		Julius Wellhausen (1844-1918), a prominent leader in the critical movement, contended that the Israel of Moses’ day could not have possessed a code containing the complicated civil and social laws that are reflected in the Pentateuch.
		But here is an important point which highlights the lack of integrity on the part of the critics: Evidence for early writing was known already in the time of Wellhausen, but it was ignored in deference to the sacrosanct theory!
