Walther Eichrodt
Walther Eichrodt (August 1, 1890 in Gernsbach, Baden – May 20, 1978 in Basel) was a German Old Testament scholar and Protestant theologian.
From 1908 to 1914 he studied theology in Bethel, Greifswald and Heidelberg, obtaining his habilitation at the University of Erlangen in 1918.[1] In 1922 he succeeded Albrecht Alt as an associate professor of history of religions and Old Testament studies at the University of Basel,[2] where from 1934 to 1960 he taught classes as a full professor. In 1953 he was named university rector.[1]
Eichrodt believed that the book of Genesis was added as a prologue to the Old Testament after the writing of Exodus had been completed.[3]
