Answer 1

Many different people are credited with authoring the books in the Christian bible. While Christians hold all of the books to be the inspired word of God, Christian scholars acknowledge many different authors.

While there are some doubts as to the authors of many OT books (most scholars do not now believe Moses was responsible for the Pentatuch) the NT books are easier, The Gospels and letters ae generally held to be the work (at least for the most part) of those whose name the appear as written under.

Answer 2

The Book was written by the Jews for the Jewish people. Adam must have written his first encounters with God and if not him and since writing was probably not yet known at that time, it could have been stories told throughout generations through story telling by mouth.
The first five Books tells about the origin of the Jewish race and it culture.
The next twelve books is the History of the Jews as a tribe and as a nation.
Then we have the books of Poetry
Then the Books of the Prophets
All of the above were written by the Jews. All of those who wrote it claims they are inspirations and guidance from God.
There is no one specific person but many scribes have written every events and incidents that happened in relation to the life of the Jews.
The New Testament, though it is claimed also to have been inspired by God, several of its writings do not necessarily covers now the story of the Jews but the life of a hero called Jesus, rejected by the Jews yet made known almost to the whole part of the world after Christianity was declared an official religion of the Roman Empire. Writers of the new Testament are consisted of Roman, Greek and other non-Jewish scribes with their writings based on some scrolls written by Jewish scholars.

Answer 3

there are four holy books,
alquran-islam
bible-christian
taurah-judaism
zabur-i dont know
but i do know that they were given to four prophets so that they could teach their followers.
No other source is possible, because Quran is written in pure,
rich, and poetic Arabic, which was not known to anyone other
than the above mentioned sources, at that time. The Arabic
language was at its peak in expression, richness, vocabulary,
artistic, and poetic value during the time the Quran was being
revealed. Anyone speaking the classical Arabic ( the Arabic of
Quran at the time it was revealed) would argue that a non-Arab
entity couldn't possibly have written such an extensive and
brilliant piece of literature in the Arabic language. Quran
could only have been written by an Arabic speaking entity. An
entity, who's knowledge, style, vocabulary, grammar, and way of
expression was so powerful that it impacted the entire Arabian
peninsula, the east, the west, and continues to impact people
all over the globe today!

At no other time, in the history of Arabic language, had it ever
achieved its peak in expression, literature, and development,
than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the time when
Quran was being revealed. At no other time in the history of
Arabic language had the language ever achieved its highest
potential than the time of Arabia during the 6th Century, the
time when Quran was being revealed. The language reached its
peak in richness, artistic value, and poetry, during that
time. With the Arabic language at its peak, and the best of
Arabic writers, poets present in Arabia, it is impossible that a
non-Arabic speaking entity would write a book like Quran and
have such a dynamite impact on the Arabs.

allahuakbar.

i suggest u read and do some research on all those books. might takes time but it worths=]

Answer 4

As far as I know, the original first copy ever of the Torah were God's words. Then people changed it. Then Jesus introduced the Bible which was the exact same as the first Torah before it was changed. Then the bible was also changed and re-written. Then came down an angel called Gabriel who recited to an illiterate man the words of God. The Quran is supposed to be the final Holy Book which noone can change its words. ( However, people who translate the Original Arabic Quran to english, can never be accurate, but the Original Arabic is believed to be the same exact words of God, unchanged.) So the Quran is believed to be the book which brings back the true words of God which have been lost throught the years before it.

Answer 5

The OT and the NT consist of 66 books written by 40 different men who were inspired by God. A lot of the books carry the name of the person who wrote them and of course some wrote more than others.

Answer 6

You're going to have to be much more specific. The authorship of most New Testament books is known (Paul contributed the most). In general, Christians believe the Bible to be the "Word of God," meaning that God inspires it even though humans physically write it down. In other religions, the texts are ancient and cannot be traced to an author, such as in Hinduism.

Answer 7

Scribes and Priests working under King Josiah faked the book of Deuteronomy. They pretended to find this supposed long lost book of Moses, and recorded its discovery in the Book of Kings.

Unfortunately for them, it is written in their version of Hebrew, which would have been unknown to someone living in the time of Moses.

Like the difference between Shakespeare and Seinfeld. Both English, but hardly the same thing.

Chapter 16 of the book of Matthew was added in the third century CE by Church elders, long after the book had been in circulation.

Fakes and frauds are the norm, and anything legitimate is rare in the Books of the Bible.

Answer 8

If you are speaking of the books of the Bible, the Bible itself answers that question. 2 Peter 1:21 tells us about the scriptures that "Holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit". By "spoke" the context shows that Peter means they wrote the words.

Men placed on the words on the paper, but God was the one who determined and directed the words.

As the 66 books of the Bible were written by over 40 authors during 1500+ year period, it would take 66 paragraphs to details who was the human author of each of the books. several of them (the history books) do not it have a listed author, but are a compile of records kept by several priest or scholars over several generations.

The New Testament Books are a little easier to assign because all 27 of them come from a single generation. The four gospels were wirtten by a Jew who was part of Jesus' inner circle (called Matthew), a Jew who knew Jesus but was not part of the inner circle (called Mark), a gentile who did not know Jesus personally, but collect eyewitness accounts to make up his gospel (called Luke) and by one of the inner circle as he neared the end of his life and had been a leader in the church for 60 years (called John).

The first three gospels are quoted in other writings as early as 58-60 AD. John (the last one written) still has surviving manscript from around 112AD, with the book being author in 95AD.

The book of Acts is author by the same personwho authored the gospel of Luke, and is often found in older manuscripts published together as if it was a single work.

Then come 13 letters authored by the Apostle Paul. Copies of those letters still exist from as early as 80-90s AD. They were authored between 48-67AD. Paul quotes from the book of Luke in one of his later letters. He also repeats over 2 dozen phrases and terms that come from the teaching of Jesus found in that gospel. So apparently Luke existed before the completion of all of Paul's letters.

After that are addition letters credited to Peter (2), John (3) and one each for James and Jude. Plus the book of Hebrews whose author is not given. All but the letters of John were authored before 70 AD, because Peter, James and Jude all died before that time. John lived to around 100AD. The letter of 1 John claims to have been written late in his life. The date of the other two letters is no clear.

Finally, there is the book of Revelation, credited to the apostle John. Written around 95AD, during a four year period where he was in exile in an island prison called Patmos.
