There’s a difference between saying the Torah has multiple authors and multiple narrative voices. The latter was proposed and understood by Mordechai Breuer, zt”l, who clearly saw these 4 distinct voices (and offered his own theory, while remaining within the camp of Orthodoxy), but Jews must believe G-d is the source of Torah, ultimately. For anyone to deny that there are 4 distinct narrative voices indicates that that individual never studied religion from a critical or academic perspective. I long believed that Modern Orthodoxy must not ignore the evidence and claims made by the Academy.
