As promised (see Part 1) here's a second post on the Documentary Hypothesis ("DH"). DH is the point of departure for modern biblical studies but is verbotten in LDS circles. LDS scholars don't even discuss it: neither Sperry (in The Spirit of the Old Testament, 1970) nor Victor Ludlow (Unlocking the Old Testament, 1981) even mentions it, which frankly doesn't do much for their credibility (I will note that Sperry at least discussed the Second Isaiah issue). Just another sign of the extent to which the LDS view of the Bible is such a mess, IMHO.
