WELLHAUSEN, JULIUS (1844 ) ,
German
  biblical scholar and Orientalist, was born at
Hameln
  on the
Weser
 , Westphalia, on the 17th of May 1844. Having studied theology at the university of
Gottingen
  under Heinrich Ewald, he established himself there in 187o as privat-docent for Old Testament history. In 1872 he was appointed professor ordinarius of theology in Greifswald. Resigning in 1882 owing to conscientious scruples, he became professor extraordinarius of oriental
languages
  in the faculty of philology at
Halle
 , was elected professor ordinarius at Marburg in 1885, and was transferred to
Gottingen
  in 1892. V6'ellhausen made his name famous by his
critical
  investigations into Old Testament history and the composition of the Hexateuch, the uncompromising scientific attitude he adopted in testing its problems bringing him into antagonism with the older school of biblical interpreters. The best known of his works are De gentibus et familiis Judaeis (Gottingen, 187o); Der Text der Bucher Samuelis untersucht (Gottingen, 1871); Die Phariser and Sadducder (Greifswald, 1874); Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels (Berlin, 1882; Eng. trans., 1885; 5th
German
  edition, 1899; first published in 1878 as Geschichte Israels); Mohammed in Medina (Berlin, 1882); Die Komposition des Hexateuchs and der historischen Bucker des Alten Testaments (1889, 3rd ed. 1899); Israelitische and .jiidische Geschichte (1894, 4th ed. 19or); Reste arabischen Heidentums (1897); Das arabische Reich andsein Sturz (1902); Skizzen and Vorarbeiten (18841899); and new and revised
editions
  of F. Bleek's Einleitung in das Alte Testament (4-6, 18781893). In 1906 appeared Die christliche Religion, mit Einschluss der israelitisch judischen Religion, in collaboration with A. Pincher, A. Harnack and others. He also did useful and interesting
work
  as a New Testament commentator. He published Das Evangelium Marci, i bersetzt and erkldrt in 1903, Das Evangelium Matthdi and Das Evangelium Lucae in 1904, and Einleitung in die drei ersten Evangelien in 1905.
