About this book
The Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels (first published in 1878 under the title Geschichte Israels I, and as of 18832 under the first-named title) by Julius Wellhausen (1844-1918) contains a concise summary and decisive further development of critical scholarship on the Old Testament in the 19th century. Wellhausen's source criticism and "Tendenzkritik" as exercised in the Prolegomena became the basis of further scholarly research on the Old Testament.
For decades the Prolegomena stood in the shadow of research dominated by form criticism, but recent epigraphic and iconographic scholarship has lent Wellhausen's reconstruction of the religion of pre-exilic Israel new relevancy. This book, written fluently and absorbingly, provided with an index of references, is here again made available twenty years after the last reprint.
Reviews
"Als Julius Wellhausens 'Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels' 1878 erschienen, waren sie in der alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft sofort eine Sensation, freilich eine heftig umstrittene. Hier wurden die Schriften des Alten Testaments in eine andere geschichtliche Folge gebracht, als es der biblische Kanon vorgibt. Mehr noch: Wellhausens Rekonstruktion wies eine bedrängende Nähe zu der Frage nach den Wertmaßstäben der "modernen Kultur" auf. Dadurch erregte das Werk weit über das Gebiet der Theologie hinaus Aufsehen. [...] Die 'Prolegomena' liegen jetzt wieder in einem handlichen Nachdruck vor. Man muss kein Prophet sein, um ihren Lesern zeitlose Gegenwart zu verheißen."
