I find Milgrom helpful on these issues, though I don't remember him addressing the possibility that so-called P narrative might in fact be H narrative. I can’t top Jim Getz on this subject.

Knoll has talked about it (literally, I don't know if he's written on it yet), as well as Bill Arnold. An acquaintance of mine is working on this topic as her dissertation as well, so I've been hearing it from many places. As for Schmid and van Seters, I don't find their arguments convincing. I've worked through legal material in CC, D, P, and H. In every case that a genetic relationship can be posited, CC always winds up being the earliest version. (However, sometimes D knows P and sometimes P knows D, but that's another issue entirely.) Jeff Stackert, Bernie Levinson and David Wright have all worked on these issues and taken van Seters to task. The arguments for H as P narrative have been kicked around for a while.
