Excerpt from Volume 1, Page 25 (NCHS:IA)
But it was in vain that I looked for the light which was to be shed from this source on the historical and prophetical books. On the contrary, my enjoyment of the latter was marred by the Law; it did not bring them any nearer me, but intruded itself uneasily, like a ghost that makes a noise indeed but is not visible and really effects nothing. Even where there were points of contact between it and them, differences also made themselves felt, and I found it impossible to give a candid decision in favour of the priority of the Law. Dimly I began to perceive that throughout there was between them all the difference that separates two wholly distinct worlds. Yet, so far from attaining clear conceptions, I only fell into deeper confusion, which was worse confounded by the explanations of Ewald.’ He then learned of Graf’s hypothesis, which placed the Law later than the Prophets, and this suggested at once a solution of his difficulties. The significance of Wellhausen’s work lies not in the originality of the thesis he maintains, to which he lays no claim, but in the fact that in solving his own difficulties he showed others how to interpret the progressive religious development in the Old Testament, and he worked out the critical theory afresh so thoroughly and presented it in such a clear and intelligible form that he carried conviction to scholars in all countries, and since the publication of the famous Prolegomena there has been a growing consensus of opinion in favour of the critical hypothesis he restated. It is worth while, however, to point out again that this hypothesis of the combination of four documents in the Pentateuch and of the priority of the Prophets to the Law was not the work of any one man. We have seen the gradual development of literary criticism as the result of conclusions reached by various scholars working on different lines and in different countries; and the position established by historical criticism was reached in the same way, by various scholars working independently, as Wellhausen points out. ‘The hypothesis usually associated with Graf’s name is really not his, but that of his teacher Eduard Reuss. It would be still more correct to call it after Leopold George and Wilhelm Vatke, who, independent alike of Reuss and of each other, were the first to give it literary currency. All three, again, are disciples of Martin Lebrecht de Wette, the epoch-making pioneer of historical criticism in this field. He indeed did not himself succeed in reaching a sure position, but he was the first clearly to perceive and point out how disconnected are the alleged starting-point of Israel’s history and that history itself.’ The critical hypothesis was explained lucidly and fully for English readers by Robertson Smith in The Old Testament in the Jewish Church; while a full critical introduction to the Old Testament with detailed analyses showing the extent of the various documents in the Pentateuch was written by Driver, Literature of the Old Testament, still the standard English book of reference on this subject.
If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
