The Old Testament was written by Jews, some of whom were prophets and priests. Other writers were kings, shepherds, poets, and song writers.
The New Testament was written by Christian Jews and possibly (not sure) some Christian Gentiles. These writers were prophets, bishops, tax collectors and fishermen.
With love in Christ.

The Old Testament was. There has been no need for prophets since the time of Christ, since His coming was the duty of the prophets.
Three of the Gospels were written by commoners. Two were fishermen and among the first to follow Jesus as disciples (John & Peter, who dictated the story to Mark), and a tax collector (Matthew). Luke, a Greek physician, was erudite, as was the Apostle who dictated the Gospel to him, Paul.
We know that Luke wrote Acts as well as a "sequel" to the Gospel. The rest of the New Testament was written by Peter, Paul of John, except for the 2 books written by Jesus' brothers (James & Jude) and Hebrews (author unknown, but suspected to be Paul dictating to someone besides Luke).

Of course not.
Apparently some portions of the Old Testament were written by priests or scribes working for them, but most of what survives of those texts are transcriptions repeated time and again and quite possibly changed in the process. No one exactly knows who wrote much of that part of the Bible.
The New Testament was written long after the deaths of their purported authors - the closest to the time of Jesus was about 150 years later.

The bible was written in hebrew and greek by 40 different writers from diverse backgrounds over many centuries, not just by hebrew prophets and priests, however there was really only one writer - god, all of the men who wrote the individual books were just like secretaries, what they wrote did not originate from them but from god.

The Old Testament was written by prophets and historians and the New Testement was written by apostles. 2nd Timothy 3:16 tells you all scripture is "God breathed"
