Check out the following article from Bible Review, which has something in it to make everyone upset (including me):

Reading David in Genesis (http://www.bib-arch.org/BSWB/bswb_BR/brf01reading_david.html)

Basically, he takes the liberal argument that Genesis was written as an justification for David and Solomon's regnal irregularities, but gives it a conservative twist by suggesting that it was written contemporaneously during David's time.

Comments?

Second...
Everyword in the Bible was spoken and written by God

Our understanding of the setting of writing affects how we interpret it.
