Two books that are older but do a good job of evaluating these positions are:
Introduction to the Old Testament R. K. Harrison (Eerdmans Publishing Co.)
The Word Becoming Flesh H. Hummel (Concordia Publishing House)
There are others more recent that are good as well. It's been many years since I read Survey of Israel's History by Leon Wood (Zondervan) and can't remember how much he deals with the issues.
--------
As for teaching, that is my gifting, passion, and calling. There is nothing I would rather do than teach (well, study too! ). It is a great thrill when a student reaches the "Aha!" point in studying when a particular theme or topic has suddenly opened up new vistas into God's Word.
And I have seen lives changed through consistent teaching of God's Word.
