Not explicitly, but if someone believes in Biblical inerrancy, then pretty much any historical critical approach to the Bible is going to denounce their beliefs (since Biblical inerrancy can't stand up to any kind of reasonable scrutiny without collapsing).

So indirectly she would be, but so would lots of other Christian scholars by that measure.

The Bible Unearthed by Silberman and Finkelstein is another good book, though focused on Jewish scriptures.
