Julius Wellhausen was a monumental figure in the field of biblical studies, but his work has been denounced as antisemitic in recent years. This book offers a nuanced view of Wellhausen’s scholarship through a critical edition and translation of one of the last doctoral dissertations by a Jew in Nazi Germany: Friedemann Philipp Boschwitz’s Julius Wellhausen: Motives and Measures of His Historiography.Boschwitz presents a deep, holistic analysis of Wellhausen's thought, examining his work on ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and formative Islam within the framework of comparative religion and cultural history. He also situates Wellhausen in the context of German intellectual history, tracing the influence of Johann Gottfried Herder on Wellhausen and Wellhausen on Friedrich Nietzsche. In addition, Paul Michael Kurtz provides incisive commentary and archival materials that highlight Boschwitz’s scholarly achievements and open new vistas onto Jewish intellectual history. Piecing together fragments from private letters and official documents, Kurtz shows the formidable challenges Boschwitz faced as a Jewish scholar under a discriminatory political and academic regime. The correspondence also reveals Boschwitz’s rich social life and connections with major émigré thinkers such as Salo Baron, Leo Strauss, and Karl Löwith. Boschwitz on Wellhausen brings together a fascinating wealth of published and unpublished material to tell an original story of great importance to scholars of the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran as well as those interested in German Judaism and modern philosophy.

Paul Michael Kurtz untersucht in diesem Werk die Historiographie des antiken Israels im Deutschen Kaiserreich durch den Zerrspiegel der Religion als einen strukturierenden Rahmen, nicht nur für die Schriften der Vergangenheit sondern auch für die Schriftgelehrten dieser Zeit selber. Der Autor analysiert, was Exegeten, Theologen, Orientalisten, Philologen und Althistoriker als "Religion" und "Geschichte" betrachteten, wie sie diese begrifflichen Kategorien verstanden und warum sie sie in der Art erforschten, in der sie es taten. Mit einem Fokus auf Julius Wellhausen und Hermann Gunkel hinterfragt seine Untersuchung, in welchem Ausmaß das Unterfangen, die antike Vergangenheit zu rekonstruieren, in einem Zeitalter angeblich neutraler Geschichtswissenschaft durch liberale protestantische Strukturen geformt wurde, die von dominierenden Historikern des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts geteilt wurden.

A historic lawgiver and founder of an ancient nation, Moses was powerful and pivotal in the imagination of modern Germany. The late eighteenth to early twentieth century was an intense period of religious controversy, especially on 'the Jewish question', with new models for understanding faith, science, and the past. This volume focuses on the identification of Jewish law, both Pentateuch and Talmud, with the figure of Moses to trace the fascinations and anxieties of the Bible in modern culture. Through diverse perspectives, it examines the representations and appropriations of Moses as a father of Judaism and framer of European civilization.

Philology in Europe before and after 1800 investigates a period often regarded as a watershed moment in the history of the humanities. Since the nineteenth century, the decades around 1800 have been considered a time of radical change, introducing a new, modern era of scholarship distinct from the one preceding it. By probing and challenging this narrative of breakage, the volume explores continuities and transformations in philological practices during this pivotal time, providing a distinctly wide-ranging perspective on the evolution of philology. Setting a long chronological horizon, the volume brings together two ages in the history of philology usually treated apart, the early and late modern periods. It also takes a transnational approach, following philological practice across countries, in Europe and beyond. So, too, it crosses (today’s) disciplinary boundaries, including biblical studies and classics as well as Arabic, Sanskrit, and Chinese philologies. Revolving around four themes – debates, instruments, communication, and collaborations – the chapters treat a broad range of topics, not only focusing on the successes but also the failures of philologists and the material conditions underlying their work. Overall, the book expands our understanding of the practices, ambitions, and legacies of philology across the supposed watershed of 1800. It will be of interest to scholars of philology and cultural history and to those concerned with interdisciplinary approaches to the humanities.
