[b-hebrew] Many scholars accept the documentary sources

I agree.  There is no reason why someone can accept the documentary hypothesis and yet be religiously conservative.  Cannot God inspire a critically understood Bible?

I suspect that depends on how you define "conservative".  I think you
will
find that there are many who would define themselves as conservative in
religious terms who would either accept the idea of documentary sources
[even if not in the classical EDJP form] or have an open mind on the subject
 Among Christians iIt seems to be mainly among conservative evangelicals who
hold to the concept of an inerrant Bible that any form of documentary
sources are unacceptable.  They do not make up the totality, or even the
majority, of conservative Christians and Jews who would consider themselves
to be biblical scholars.

Dear Lloyd, 
 
Amongst "mainstream" scholars "so-called" it is accepted.
Amongst
conservative 
Scholars it is NOT accepted.
