Present Trend to O.T. Theology as Represented in the Albright Influence

Abstract

"Among trends in contemporary Old Testament scholarship, one of the more significant is headed by William Foxwell Albright of Johns Hopkins University. This survey is an attempt to give in brief compass a sketch of the Albright position as it relates particularly to Old Testament history and to point out some of its contrasts with the older Wellhausen type of view. The writer in 1949 wrote his Master’s Thesis on this subject, entitled, “Hebrew Monotheism in Connection with Albright’s Position and That Traditional to the Wellhausen School,” and intends in this survey to use that material freely, even to the extent of direct quotation in several places"
