Hellas und der Orient : Phasen wechselseitiger Rezeption

Besides commemorating the scholar Julius Wellhausen (1844-1918), the series of lectures aims to continue and publicise research in the fields he represented and their neighbouring philological-historical disciplines.

In the course of his life, Julius Wellhausen conducted research in three fields: the Old Testament, the New Testament and ancient Arabia, or to put it another way: Judaism, Christianity and early Islam.

The annual lectures, named after Wellhausen, are held by the Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Georg-August-Universitat Goettingen.
