different parts at different times. The Pentateuch (Torah)cold not have been before 650 BC, the final edition including new testament at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD.

I found in the history book that the 39 books of the Old Testament is what Judaism uses while Catholics have 7 more books. The 27 books in the New Testament is the same for all.
The line of Catholic popes begans in the year 67. They began with Peter. At least this is a good sorce of time.
Moses compiled Genesis and Job, and Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy was finished during the wilderness trek to the Promised Land 470 years after Abraham was given the Promised Land covenant, 897 years after the flood and 1513 before Christ, it s 480 years to Solomon 4 years as king 1Ki.6:1; he has 36 [ of 40 ], to death 1Ki.11:42 [ past Joshua, Judges 11:26 [ is 300 years ]; Ruth for David's family,
1 & 2 Samuel. Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon are done. 997 before Christ.
Next 391 years 1 & 2 kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles 36:20-23 AND KINGS END CAPTIVE TO BABYLON. THERE WILL BE NO KING UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS
Same 391 years and Prophets write. To 606 before Christ. Last and down to 443 before Christ is Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther and Mordecai, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
The New Testament was completed from 50 to 100 after Christ.
We can see the order is not as written, but is a very good method once you know the order.
ALL I KNOW FOR SURE AND WE CAN NOT DENY IT:
KJV Bible published 1611 + 303 = 1914 after Christ [ or Rome ended bible years ]; it is an excepted translation for the last days before Christ second coming.
Prophecy is 2520 after captivity in Babylon #3 [ Rev.17:10-14 #1 to # 5, Jesus and John in #6, bible in #7 that ends 2520 years after Babylon also Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12 is done by Michael [ SATAN HAS A SHORT TIME IN THE 8TH of the 7 ];
Dan.12:1-7 [ 2500 ]; 8-10 [ 2520 = 1914 CE ]; 12:11 [ 2x 1290 ] = 2580 12:12 [ 2x 1335 = 2670 less 2520 = 150 ]; Rev.9:1-5 [ 5 x 30 = 150 the pit is open for Satan AND THE SEALED OF GOD ARE THERE ]; Dan.12:1-13 is all about the time of the end and with Satan cast down, the heavenly can be raised up to be with him at his coming John 14:3; Rev.20:1-6 [ heavenly with Jesus 12,13 to be resurrected.

The 66 books we use today were in use in many churches as early as 100 A.D. About 5 books were disputed by some for a while. But eventually they were accepted. The canon was officially closed around 325A.D. I do not believe that the Bible was actually put together as 1 book until after the printing press came along. I could be wrong, but think of how big it would be if it were hand written only on one side of a page. I don't think it would be physically possible to have it as one book before the press. It was more a collection of books.
I actually studied this many years ago-I have forgotten.

there are several parts to that Question. Because I only have 10 min. before this Question end I will be brief. The The Torah, or the writings of Moses have been accepted by the Jewish people for about four thousand years. Much of the rest of the Old testament was compiled by Ezra and other Scribes about 500BC. The New Testament was accepted by the Counsel of Nicea in the Fourth century. Hope this helps you out.

The Council of Jamnia (?) decided on the 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) @90 a.d. following the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans.
The 27 books of the Christian Scriptures (New Testamnet) we first listed in Bishop Athenasia's Easter letter to his churches in...327 a.d.

Was it when the Council of Nicea met in AD 330 - when the Bible was officially accepted as 66 books?

the books in New Testament cannon would have been accepted by the church long before any official date
on a side note...the New Testament we know was largely written before 70ad since the deaths of Peter Paul Luke and the fall of Jerusalem are not mentioned, while the death of James was mentiomed

The Muslims and non-Muslims consider the Qur'an and the Bible to their respective books of guidance without realizing the vast differences between the two. Firstly, the Bible is a scripture and many Muslims erroneously consider the Qur'an to be a scripture. In the Qur'an, Allah describes the Qur'an as "Al-Kitab", meaning "The Book", which is the right name for it. The Bible is called a scripture and if asked about the authorship, Christians tell you that there were forty-some persons, rarely a prophet or a messenger among them, who wrote the Bible under divine inspiration. The concept of divine inspiration is an assumption without verification.Whereas, the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad Sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa Sallam(henceforth denoted as S) who dictated to his scribes, the most honorable companions. In the sense of authorship the Bible is a scripture whereas the Qur'an is not a scripture but a revealed book.
The Qur'an talks about the Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel which were the books revealed by Allah to the Prophets Musa, Dawood and 'Isa, respectively, which are not the same book as Bible. Due to the similarity of some contents of Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel, some people equate them with the Torah and Psalms of David and the Gospels respectively, which is an error. This has given an excuse to the Christian missionaries to present the Bible in native languages of the Muslim countries as the Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel of the Qur'an and confuse and confound naive Muslims. The revealed Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel were revealed books which are extinct, whereas, the Bible may contain some parts of Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel in modern-day language translation in corrupt form. A translation of a revealed book cannot be the word of God because in the process of translations the word of God is transformed into the word of man. In he language of revelation (Arabic or Aramaic or Hebrew) only one manuscript or codex could be the word of God, whereas, there can be an infinite number of translations by man. It is, therefore, agreed by Muslims scholars that any translation of the Qur'an isn't the word of God and does not qualify to be called the Qur'an. Non-Arabic speaking people should be able to benefit from translations but no one should depend upon single translations because no translation is free of errors. A translation represent the understanding or lack of it by the translator himself. If any one desires to become a scholar of the Qur'an there is no choice but to learn the Arabic language of the Qur'an and gain expertise in it.
One of the major sources of corruption of the Bible is translation and translations of translations. With regards to the Gospels of the Christians, there is no record of even writing down any document when Jesus received revelations. It is believed by the Christians that the first records of the teachings of Jesus (A) and his life were made decades after his disappearance and it was in Greek language. The earliest manuscript available is from the fourth century after Jesus. In the case of the Old Testament, it was written in Hebrew and its dialects, but was destroyed at least twice by the enemies of Judaism in ancient times without leaving a single copy and was rewritten from memory, one of the sources of corruption. The Qur'an was recorded in writing and as well as in the memory of many people in the life time of Prophet Muhammad (S) and was compiled in book form according to his directions shortly after his death. It is, therefore, suggested should not apply the term "Scripture" the Qur'an. "Al-Kitab", when used in the Qur'an, should be translated simply as "the Book".

All of it probably came together in 200 or 300 A.D.
