New page

'''Martin Noth''' (August 3, 1902 – May 30, 1968) was a [[Germany|German]] scholar of the [[Hebrew Bible]] who specialized in the pre-Exilic history of the Hebrews. With [[Gerhard von Rad]] he pioneered the traditional-historical approach to biblical studies, emphasising the role of oral traditions in the formation of the biblical texts.

==Life==

Noth was born in [[Dresden]], [[Kingdom of Saxony]]. He studied at the universities of [[University of Erlangen-Nuremberg|Erlangen]], [[University of Rostock|Rostock]], and [[University of Leipzig|Leipzig]] and taught at [[University of Greifswald|Greifswald]] and [[University of Königsberg|Königsberg]].

From 1939-41 and 1943-45, Noth served as a soldier during [[World War II]]. After the war he taught at [[University of Bonn|Bonn]], [[University of Göttingen|Göttingen]], [[University of Tübingen|Tübingen]], [[University of Hamburg|Hamburg]], and [[University of Basel]]. He died during an expedition in the [[Negev]], [[Israel]].

==Influence==

Noth first attracted widespread attention with "Das System der zwölf Stämme Israels" (“The Scheme of the Twelve Tribes of Israel”, 1930), positing that the [[Twelve Tribes of Israel]] did not exist prior to the covenant assembly at [[Shechem]] described in the [[book of Joshua]].

"[[A History of Pentateuchal Traditions]]," (1948, English translation 1972) set out a new model for the composition of the
[[Torah|Pentateuch, or Torah]]. Noth supplemented<sup>[]</sup> the dominant model of the time, the [[documentary hypothesis]], seeing the [[Pentateuch]] as composed of blocks of traditional material accreted round some key historical experiences. He identified these experiences as "Guidance out of Egypt," "Guidance into the Arable Land," "Promise to the Patriarchs," "Guidance in the Wilderness" and "Revelation at Sinai," the details of the narrative serving to fill out the thematic outline. Later, Robert Polzin showed that some of his main conclusions were consistent with arbitrary or inconsistent use of the rules that he proposed<sup>[]</sup>.

Even more revolutionary and influential, quite reorienting the emphasis of modern scholarship, was "The Deuteronomistic History". In this work Noth argued that the earlier theory of several [[Deuteronomist]] redactions of the books from [[Book of Joshua|Joshua]] to [[Books of Kings|Kings]] did not explain the facts, and instead proposed that they formed a unified "[[Deuteronomic history]]", the product of a single author working in the late 7th century.

Noth also published commentaries on all the five books of the Pentateuch: [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]], [[Book of Exodus|Exodus]], [[Leviticus]], [[book of Numbers|Numbers]], and [[Deuteronomy]]. Following Wellhausen's hypothesis, Noth proposed that the [[book of Joshua]] plus the Pentateuch originally formed a six-book work, the [[Hexateuch]].
