:I must agree that this article is so poorly researched as to be valueless. The only area I know fairly well is the Torah/Pentateuch, and the description of authors "according to scholarship" is simply the very old-fashioned Wellhausian view - over a hundred years old now. Things have moved on since Wellhausen, and Friedman - the source of this information - is one voice among many, and a minority voice at that. Would someone like to start the procedure for deleting this article?
