I know that Shadal, David Hoffman, and many others tried very hard to combat the claims of scholars that criticized the Torah (both in terms of Higher and Lower Criticism). Can anyone help me find other modern scholars that did similar work for my Bible class? We are specifically studying the 5 Megillot, and thus we are studying: Solomon's authorship of Kohelet, a literal reading of Shir HaShirim, and more. Therefore I am seeking your help for finding:
1) modern traditionalist scholars that combat Biblical Criticism of the 5 Megillot (it would be great if I could also be pointed to where they talk about this in their works)
2) issues that Biblical Critics deal with in the 5 Megillot
