The Bible is God's written Word to us.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
"Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:20-21. (New International Version)
Breakdown of the Bible
36 human authors inspired entirely by God over 1600 years.
66 separate books
39 Old Testament
Genesis- The creation of the world, sin, flood and birth of Israel
Exodus to Esther- History of the nation of Israel
Job to Proverbs- the books of poetry and wisdom
Isaiah to Malachi- Prophecy or foretelling of the future events to come.
27 New Testament

2 Tim. 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." Paul who wrote this epistle was obviously referring to the entirety of the Old Testament as being inspired. The word "inspired" is literally "God breathed."
Peter says in 2 Pet. 1:21, "for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." Peter is stating that prophecy is not the product of human will, prophecy occurs by those moved by the Holy Spirit.

"Divinely Inspired". Another brainwashed boob. That story book was inspired by Greek Mythology. Practically every book in the Old Testament! Face it and get on with your lives.

The bible was written by men inspired by God. God spoke through their experiences. He used Peter to write about persecution, Paul to write about theology, James to write about faith, etc.
