In one sense it it good to see these books produced because it gives us the opportunity to defend Scripture although I know what you mean and agree with you. One think I would say though, is that many evangelicals and Reformed have a rather wooden understanding of Scripture. Mention the similarities between ANE and the OT and you get attacked viciously. Point out that Scripture did not drop down from heaven but was written by culturally conditioned writers and you get heckled as a liberal. Speak about difficulties with the texts and you be labelled as a critic.
