L'autore

About the Author:

"Gunkel was born in Springe, Germany (near Hannover, Lower Saxony), where his father was a Lutheran pastor. He studied theology in Goettingen and Hanover, and in 1895 became a professor of Old Testament in Berlin. In the same year his book Schpfung und Chaos in Urzeit und Endzeit (Creation and Chaos) was published. In 1901 the first edition of his Genesis commentary appeared. In 1926 he published another standard work, his commentary on the book of Psalms (Die Psalmen).

For health reasons Gunkel retired and became professor emeritus in 1927. His Einleitung in die Psalmen (Introduction to the Psalms) was his last major project, brought to completion with the help of Joachim Begrich, who was both his former student and his son-in-law.

Hermann Gunkel died on 11 March 1932 in Halle." (Quote from wikipedia.org)
