I am reading at the moment The Mythic Past by Thomas L Thompson, I have to say the book so far has been pretty good. Also Thompson argues well for his position using the archeological and textual evidence.
One of the things noticed whikle reading the The Mythic Past is that Thompson argues for D or Deuteronomist source in the bible being written around the time of the Hasmonean dynasty (140-37 BCE). The D source of the bible is considered to be more than just sections of the Torah, it also includes the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings and Jermeiah. Thompson really argues so well for this position that it seems pretty credible instead of some whackjob idea.
