during it's time, it wouldn't be so biased? Having a couple of men write and preach it sounds so egotistical to me.

It cannot be considered god's word, he did not come down from the heavens and write it himself. It was written by PEOPLE. Plain and simple.

The Bible contains female heroes like Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Bathsheba (even though she sinned with David), the women whose baby was nearly sliced in half by King Solomon, the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Tabitha, the woman who sold cloth in Acts and others.
Please read and understand their stories before jumping to the conclusion that the Bible is male dominated.

The Bible records the interactions of human beings with the Judeo-Christian God.
It is not a matter of people writing anything they wanted to.
--
Focusing specifically on the New Testament.... (since that is the primary text on which Christianity is founded).
The four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) were recognized by the early Christian Church as being authentic because those 4 gospels were written by immediate disciples of Jesus (Matthew, John) and/or were authenticated by the immediate disciples and apostles of Jesus (in the case of Mark and Luke).
The rest of the New Testament are writings by disciples/apostles that are consistent with the teachings of the four gospels.
Cordially,
John

The problem with what you are saying is that the Bible was written by people. People claim that it is the "word of God". Seeing that you don't believe that, it really doesn't matter how many people wrote it, because clearly it is flawed, as God is above imperfection and man is not.

Well the Bible stands as it is.
But you are free to compose your own "holy book" if you like.
