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.
