I'm almost finished with Richard Elliott Friedman's Who Wrote The Bible? It makes you wish, for a brief moment, that you could read Hebrew well enough to join the game. The plausibility of his scenario makes for a challenging read -- Let's see, E is from Assyrian-conquered Israel, J is from Judah, P is from the Aaronic priests, D is from Jeremiah or his circle, before and after the fall of the first temple, and R the redactor, or editor might be just be Ezra, agent of the Persian king, with the Torah of Moses in his posession.
