DH-39 Scholarly Consensus?

Last updated on: June 6, 2014 at 8:14 am By William Hamblin

The claim is often made by supporters of the Documentary Hypothesis that there is scholarly consensus on the validity of the theory. This claim is exaggerated. Neal Rappleye sent me the following quotations from Carol A. Redmount, “Bitter Lives: Israel in and out of Egypt,” in The Oxford History of the Biblical World, ed. Michael D.

DH-38 We Don’t Know

Last updated on: June 4, 2014 at 12:21 pm By William Hamblin

Another remarkable characteristic of the Documentarians is their unwillingness to simply admit, “We just don’t know.” What I have been trying to do in this series of blogs is explore the reasons for the problems and ultimate failure of the hypothesis, and thereby explain why I find the hypothesis unconvincing. In my opinion the Documentary Hypothesis has been a century and a half-long exercise in academic futility. Scholars are further from consensus now regarding the details of the Documentary Hypothesis... Read more
