The following information is about Documentary Hypothesis.
Documentary Hypothesis Defined
The documentary hypothesis was first advocated by Wellhausen in the nineteenth century. It theorizes that the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) are composite documents. The constituent documents are detected through literary analysis. The theoretical component documents of the Pentateuch are called J, E, D, and P. J is characterized by the use of Yahweh as God’s name; E is characterized by the use of Elohim to refer to God, D is essentially Deuteronomy, and P is characterized by sacerdotal regulations, such as are found in Leviticus. There is no physical evidence to back up the documentary hypothesis; it is based solely on literary analysis. The recent Book of J, which purports to be the J document of the documentary hypothesis, is a literary reconstruction. You can get more information about the Documentary Hypothesis.
