J: (Jahwist) uses the term “YHWH” for God most commonly. It’s anthropomorphic, anthropocentric, involves vibrant storytelling, and is very creative.
E: (Elohist) uses the term Elohim for God most commonly. It is incorporating other traditions and/or redacting the J tradition.
D: (Deuteronomic) seems to be an early stage of the deuteronomic tradition, in which God is about fear, love, and obedience.
P: (Priestly) is concerned with cultic matters, most notably the rules for priests and the temple.
It is believed that these traditions were combined during the post-exilic period.
