The resulting argument from his studies, called the documentary hypothesis, remained the dominant model among biblical scholars until later in the 20th century. The documentary hypothesis (DH) , sometimes erroneously called the Wellhausen Hypothesis, holds that the writings of the Pentateuch (the Torah, to use its Hebrew name) derive from originally independent narratives. The number of these is usually set at four, but this is not an essential part of the hypothesis. |

Hermann Gunkel and Julius What contributions did these

to biblical studies??

Hermann Gunkel’s pioneering form-critical work on the psalms sought to provide a new and meaningful context in which to interpret individual psalms – not by looking at their literary context within the Psalter (which he didn’t see as significant), but by bringing together psalms of the same genre (Gattung) from throughout the Psalter. 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. He is perhaps most well-known for his Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels of 1883 (first published 1878 as Geschichte Israels), in which he advanced a definitive formulation of the Documentary hypothesis, arguing that the Torah or Pentateuch had its origins in a redaction of four originally independent texts dating from several centuries after the time of Moses, their traditional author. |
