who wrote the bible?

Question

can you tell me about him/her

Answer 1

Since there were some 40 individuals involved, it is not possible to go into detail on Y!As. Suffice it to say that each was a faithful follower of the True God, Jehovah. He used them to convey his thoughts to mankind, then & in our day. For a few more details about the Bible, see:

More details about the Bible's individual penmen are in the book, "Insight on the Scriptures". A list of them is found in the back of the NWT Bible (printed version, not online).

Answer 2

The true author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit of God who carried men along as their hands wrote the actual words. The Bible was written by 40 different authors on 3 different continents from about 1500BC to 95AD and yet it tells a cohesive story that begins with the creation of the universe, the fall of mankind into sin and the resulting corruption of the creation, God's work in redeeming mankind from sin, and finally a new creation where people who have trusted in Jesus for their salvation will have eternal resurrected bodies and there will be no more death or sorrow or pain.

Answer 3

Many people wrote the bible. They were all inspired by the Holy Spirit as Martin pointed out. Now there were four evangelists. John, Luke, Matthew and Mark. John was the beloved apostle. He was one of the three apostles closest to Jesus. He was one of those called the "triumverate". The triumverate was composed of Peter, James and John but John stood at the foot of the cross with Mary when Jesus died, so he was the beloved apostle of Jesus. Matthew was an apostle. He was one of the twelve closest friends of Jesus. I think he was a tax collector by profession. Luke was a doctor. St. Paul wrote the epistles or the letters of Paul. The apocalypse was also written by John the beloved. There were many other authors of the bible but these are the ones I am most acquainted with.

Answer 4

God set a pattern from the very beginning of the world of giving revelation to mortal men. All of these men were foreordained to be prophets before they were born; however, they can choose to ignore the call and can forfeit being a prophet. Adam, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, James, John, Paul were all called and chosen as God's messengers. As they received the words of God via the channel of the Holy Spirit (which reveals the mind of God) they wrote down these words on scrolls. These scrolls are basically what constitute the modern day Bible. Why didn't God just send the Bible down to the earth completed...sort of like a fax out of heaven? I don't know, but He has revealed that He chooses the weak things of the earth to confound the wise. And from small and simple means are great things brought to pass. The Bible is a great thing. God bless you.

Answer 5

Lot's of people wrote the Bible through time. There are 52 different versions of Bible most of them been burnt by Germans during WW2.

Answer 6

There are over 40 different writers of the Bible who wrote it over a period of about 1500 years. It is well documented, and most of the Book have the name of the writer associated with them. The single Author of course is God.

Answer 7

I will give you two answers where you yourself can look it up as any written book the name of its writer is always mentioned so also the Bible there is a claim on the written word of the living God . 2 Peter 1 verse 20 REVELATION 22 verse 18

Answer 8

No, I can't tell you.
With rare exceptions, the authors of the Bible are anonymous. Most of the Bible is the product of a long evolution, with many contributors. The book of Genesis, for example, was probably written by no less than 4 authors over several centuries, and then editted by a fifth author.

Answer 9

Who Wrote the Bible?

“THE Bible is full of contradictions,” claim skeptics. “Besides, it contains human philosophy. Therefore, how can anyone accept the Bible as a trustworthy guide for life?”

Do you share the skeptics’ viewpoint that the Bible is nothing more than a book expressing flawed human thinking? Some clergymen do. The late Swiss Protestant theologian Karl Barth wrote in his Kirchliche Dogmatik (Church Dogmatics): “The prophets and apostles as such were capable of making mistakes in speaking and in writing.” True, differences in wording can be found in the narratives of an event covered by more than one Bible writer. And statements can be found that, on the surface, appear to differ completely from statements found elsewhere in the Bible. But are these really contradictions? Is the Bible simply the product of men? Indeed, who wrote the Bible?

The answer is simple: “Men spoke from God.” But how did they know what to speak and what to write? The man just quoted, the apostle Simon Peter, goes on to explain that they spoke “as they were borne along by holy spirit.”—2 Peter 1:21.

For a fact, time and time again the Bible stresses that it is “the word of God.” In the 176 verses of Psalm 119 alone this point is alluded to 176 times! What makes this significant is that writers are normally interested in making known that they have written a particular work. But the men who wrote the Bible were not. All honor was to go to God. It was his book, not theirs.—1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Samuel 23:2.

“Borne Along by Holy Spirit”—How?

How were these men “borne along by holy spirit”? A letter to the first-century Christian Timothy provides an answer: “All Scripture is inspired of God.” “Inspired of God” translates the Bible’s original word of the Greek text the·o′pneu·stos, which means, literally, “God-breathed.” God used his invisible active force—his holy spirit—to “breathe” his ideas into the minds of the writers. Thus, Jehovah God is the Source and Producer of the Bible. His thoughts directed the writing much as a businessman uses a secretary to write letters for him.—2 Timothy 3:16.

Also, this concept of “God-breathed” finds a parallel in the Biblical expression “borne along by holy spirit.” How so? “Borne along” is used in Greek with reference to ships that are moved along on a certain course by the wind. (Compare Acts 27:15, 17.) Thus, as a wind blows and moves a sailing ship, so the Bible writers thought, spoke, and wrote under God’s influence, borne along by his holy spirit as he “breathed” on them.

The Men Used by God to Write

We have but few autobiographical details about the Bible writers. Far from considering themselves of great importance, they always strove to honor God by keeping themselves in the background. We do know, however, that they included state officials, judges, prophets, kings, shepherds, farmers, and fishermen—some 40 men in all. Thus, the Bible, although a message from God, has the warmth, variety, and appeal of the human touch.

Many of the Bible writers did not know one another. They even lived centuries apart and were extremely different in temperament and experience, as well as in social and educational backgrounds. Yet, whether they were young or old, their writing shows a complete unity. Over a period of some 1,600 years, they wrote until the book was finally finished. After a careful examination, you will find that the Bible’s statements reflect a remarkable harmony. The Bible thus echoes the mind of one Author, though many writers were used.

Should this not prompt us “to pay more than the usual attention” to this extraordinary book, the Bible? Should we not be able to reach the same conclusion as did Peter, who wrote: “All this only confirms for us the message of the prophets, to which you will do well to attend, because it is like a lamp shining in a murky place”?—Hebrews 2:1; 2 Peter 1:19, The New English Bible.

Answer 10

The bible was written by many persons over many years of time. All these writings were put together to make the bible.

So the bible is a record of times by man.
