Who wrote the bible?

Answer 1

God through the hand of many of his prophets, and disciples, including Moses, Joshua, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul.

Answer 2

Many different people wrote the Bible...
Today, the Bible is considered to be a single book, or the telling of a single story, but in truth, each "book" of the Bible exists separately. Moses is given credit for the first five books of the Bible, whereas various apostles are credited the the New Testament books that bear their names. For all of the books in between, various minor prophets are credited, and as with the New Testament, some of those books bear the names of their supposed authors--though in some cases they're named for their "central characters."

There are 66 "books" that comprise the Bible, written over a period spanning thousands of years. However, these "books" range from actual mytho-historical tomes to census reports, letters, and love poems.

There is some debate as to who the biblical authors actually were, and the absolute domination of male writers would suggest either that there were no female bibilcal authors, or that female authors (if such women were even taught to read and write, which in some instances is unlikely) used male pseudonyms in order to avoid punishment., since there ARE biblical laws that forbid women from speaking without permission of their husbands.

Answer 3

Who wrote the bible? How about who thinks we are actually capable of translating correctly such ancient languages, written so long ago, that the common vernacular is likely lost in any translation. And also consider, many of the stories, yes stories, were passed first by word of mouth. A story is embellished in order to be remembered, and requested to be re-told. It is full of half truths at best, and full of opinions on spirituality and our place in the universe to be sure. Take it with a grain of salt, and try thinking for your self what seems right in honor of life, and what seems wrong. Service to fellow man is noble, service to an idea of a god, is waste-full of energy and time in life. Evidence of this is in the good feelings received in giving a hand to someone in need.

Answer 4

The first four books scholars think are written by the same person (Moses, by tradition, but handed down through many generations of oral tradition). Many of the next books of the Old Testament are penned by a variety of writers, all unknown (usually one or two books per writer). With the New Testament, each book is written by one author per book, estamated at 40 to 60 years after Christ. It is doubtful, but not impossible, the apostles wrote them. The book of Revelations is written at this time by an unknown author. It was only one of a popular genre of books called apocolypses, books filled with secret symbolism jews would recognize predicting the end of occupation of Israel by the Romans.
