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 Centrum Orbis Orientalis et Occidentalis (CORO), which is jointly supported by the Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

Die Vorlesungsreihe will zum einen an den Forscher Julius Wellhausen (1844–1918) erinnern, zum anderen zur Fortsetzung und öffentlichen Verbreitung der Forschungen in den von ihm repräsentierten und benachbarten philologisch-historischen Disziplinen beitragen. Julius Wellhausen forschte im Laufe seines Lebens über drei Gebiete: das Alte Testament, das Neue Testament und das alte Arabien, anders ausgedrückt: das Judentum, das Christentum und den frühen Islam. Die nach ihm benannte, jährlich stattfindende Vorlesung wird vom Centrum Orbis Orientalis et Occidentalis (CORO) veranstaltet, das gemeinsam von der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen und der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen getragen wird.
