George Ernest Wright wrote a book pitting this set of works Against Its Environment. Debates about the historicity of this set of works often clump "minimalists" such as John Van Seters against "maximalists" or proponents of High Chronology. Professors Walter Brueggemann at Columbia and Brevard Childs at Yale primarily studied this collection, which Robert Lowth showed to make extensive use of the poetic technique of "parallelism." Hermann Gunkel and Gerhard von Rad first developed "form criticism" to study this set of texts. (*) Melito of Sardis catalogued and coined a term for this set of texts, of which six editions were put side-by-side in the Hexapla. Marcionites rejected the God depicted in this collection as distinct from the father of Jesus. James Frazer studied Folklore in, for 10 points, what sacred compilation whose editions include the Greek Septuagint and the Hebrew Masoretic text?
