WELLHAUSEN, Julius

WELLHAUSEN, Julius
(1844-1918)
   the most important German BIBLICAL critic of the nineteenth century who divided the text into "J" "E" and "P" strata which he believed represented the work of various editors who combined earlier literary TRADITIONS. His work did much to create and win acceptance for HIGHER CRITICISM and the documentary HYPOTHESIS to explain the origins of the HEBREW BIBLE.
