Dear Lloyd,

Amongst "mainstream" scholars "so-called" it is accepted. Amongst conservative
scholars it is NOT accepted.

The documentary hypothesis is accepted by mainstream biblical scholarship.

I would like the moderators' opinions on this statement. I've always
understood they were in scope. I understand why Karl wants them out
but it requires his idiosyncratic definition of evidence. Needless to
say, but I'll say it anyway, his definition of evidence is not shared
by many scholars.
