Not controversial, you say? I doubt anyone in good faith would regard these as fundamentalists:
"The positing of 'sources' in the sense of the documentary hypothesis can no longer make any contribution to understanding the development of the Pentateuch."
-Rolf Rendtorff in his 'Das überlieferungsgeschichtliche Problem des Pentateuch," 1977
"A lively debate has developed concerning such fundamental issues as the relative order of these sources [JEDP] and the extent to which any of them are as early as previous scholars had suggested. The existence of E as a complete source has been questioned as well, especially since E first appears well after the beginning of the Torah and is very difficult to disentangle from J after the beginning of Exodus."
-New Oxford Annotated Bible, 2007
