Discuss the documentary hypothesis as advocated by Julius Wellhausen during 1844-1918?

The documentary hypothesis, proposed by Julius Wellhausen, suggests that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, the Torah, were written by multiple authors over a period of time rather than being solely the work of Moses. Wellhausen argued that four main sources, labeled J, E, D, and P, were woven together to form the Torah.

Who wrote the first chapters of the Bible?

Moses Although the text of Genesis makes no claim about authorship, the traditional Jewish, and later Christian, belief was that the five books of the Torah were dictated by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. For a number of reasons this is no longer accepted by the majority of modern biblical scholars, and contemporary academic debate centres instead on the proposal known as the documentary hypothesis. This postulates that Genesis, together with the other four books, is a composite work assembled from various sources. These sources are:[82]

Who originated the two sources documentary hypothesis?

Close similarities in wording among the three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) indicates an actual literary relationship, the explanation for which is known as the "synoptic problem". It has long been recognised that the authors of Matthew and Luke relied on the Gospel of Mark for their knowledge of the life and mission of Jesus. A second hypothetical source, known as the Q document provided Matthew and Luke with a number of sayings common to both, but absent from Mark. However, there is much material in Matthew that is unique to Matthew and material in Luke that is unique to Luke.In 1924, Burnett Hillman Streeter proposed a four source documentary hypothesis. In addition to Mark and Q, he said that Matthew contains material from a further source he called the 'M' document, and Luke contains material from a further source he called the 'L' document. The author of Matthew knew nothing about L, and the author of Luke knew nothing about M. This hypothesis, although it has some problems, avoids the criticism that the two evangelists filled in their gospels with literary inventions.
