SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLS - DONT INSULT ME CUZ IM CHRISTIAN

Answer 1

Books have been written on this. There is a fairly strong concensus that a number of differeny people wrote parts, and then a number of others compiled written sections together. Thus the writers would often have greater knowledge of the events than the people living them.

Answer 2

OK...Ready?

The first part of the bible was written by scribes hired by King David of Judah to write the history of his people. They basically wrote down lots of campfire stories and verbal histories that had been circulating for a while. They also threw in some stuff about how great David was, and how the culmination of the nation of Israel would be in this great kingdom with this great king. Hey, if you commission an history, you get some cool perks.

So then some people from the northern kingdom of Israel, who didn't really like the idea of a king and much preferred their decentralized Tribal Council, rewrote the history that David had made, in which they say that kings are bad and that the real way that the nation should be laid out is democratically, with Tribal leaders and the like.

Eventually, both sections got merged and became the first part of the bible. If you look close enough, you can find the remnants of both perspectives.

So then, a lot of other groups put in their stuff: Priests put in laws and a little section on how priests were awesome, then some other people we call Deuteronomists came along and wrote a whole book called (you guessed it...Deuteronomy) with more laws and stuff. Some poet/singer/songwriter formerly known as Solomon but who was actually much older wrote a few books in the middle, and some ancient wisdom was distilled into a couple of books. Eventually, a lot of prophets, often taking each other's names (Isaiah was written by three guys at three different times, those three books then got smashed together) wrote books of the prophets.

Ok. With me? Now let's start the New Testament.

Paul was the first to write anything found in the NT, which were basically letters to churches he had founded. Some other letters got thrown in too. Then the gospels came along: First (probably) some document we haven't found with the words of Christ. "Mark" (not called that, but just used the name to give it credibility, like the others) based his gospel on that. "Matthew" and "Luke" based their gospels on "Mark"'s, and "John" wrote way, way later. Finally, Revelations was written, probably the last book of the current bible (incidentally, it was most likely based on current political strife and was more a political satire/commentary than a prediction of the future--much like all the other prophets. In those days, prophets didn't predict, they commented on society).

How is that for you? Any questions? I'll be here all day.

Answer 3

How many people wrote the bible? There are 40 authors of the books of the Bible. Most of them we know, but there are anonymous writers too. Some of the authors wrote one book, some wrote several.

Moses is credited for the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy which are called the Pentetuch. These books cover creation to his own death at the end of Deuteronomy. It's been suggested that another person, who took over the spiritual leadership of the Israelites, completed Deuteronomy.

The books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth are historical documents written before or during the reign of King David presumably by priestly historians.

The Psalms were written by King David, Moses, Solomon, the sons of Korah, the sons of Asaph and Ethan the Ezrahite. There are also some Psalms that were written anonymously.

Proverbs, Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes were written by King Solomon, though chapters 30 and 31 of Proverbs were written by Agur and Lemuel respectively.

Isaiah, Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum and Zephaniah were the prophets who penned the books with their names.

The writers of Samuel, Kings, Esther, and Job are unnamed.

Habakkuk, Joel, Obadiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi were written by the prophets' named respectively.

Jeremiah wrote both Lamentations and Jeremiah while Ezra wrote Ezra, Nehemiah and possibly Chronicles.

In the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote their gospels and Luke also wrote the book of Acts. Paul is responsible for the Pauline Letters which are Romans, 1st Corinthians, 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1st Thessalonians, 2nd Thessalonians, 1st Timothy, 2nd Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

Peter of the Twelve Disciples wrote 1st and 2nd Peter. John, the Disciple that Jesus loved, wrote 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John and also Revelation.

The book of James has been credited to James the brother of Jesus and the book of Jude was written by Jude the bother of James. Hebrews has been ascribed to the Apostle Paul but is generally considered to have been written anonymously.

How many people wrote the Bible? Although the actual count of the authors of the Bible is 40, there wouldn't be the history and stories without the people who lived and told them.

Answer 4

The bible is a collection of books written by many, many different people. By prophets, disciples, Moses, etc.
The word bible means a collection of books, typically of sacred text, and considered the Word of God.
There have been books added and taken away from the Bible since the beginning. What has been taken away and changed has only been done by wicked men in high authority in their church attempting to pervert the right ways of God, and cause confusion, and misleading. Which has worked. Thus, we have millions of religions now.
