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. This has remained so until recently, but
during the past twenty-five years the study of the Pentateuch has
been once more in turmoil, and new theories have proliferated. This
book arises from the conviction that much in current Pentateuchal
research needs to be subjected to rigorous scrutiny and that much,
indeed, is radically mistaken. Dr 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 Dr 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. But the
Documentary Hypothesis should remain our primary point of
reference, and it alone provides the most dependable perspective
from which to approach this most difficult of areas in the study of
the Old Testament.
