Prolegomena to the history of Israel
Book • 1900
In 'Prolegomena to the History of Israel', Julius Wellhausen presents a critical analysis of the Old Testament, arguing that the Mosaic law is a product of Judaism developed after the fall of ancient Israel.
The book explores the historical development of Israel's religion, proposing that the earliest Israelite religion was polytheistic and family-based, evolving into the monotheistic Judaism known today.
Wellhausen's work laid foundational critical groundwork for understanding the history of the Hebrew nation.
