OLD TESTAMENT

Genesis – Moses

Leviticus – Moses
Numbers—The modern documentary hypothesis asserts that the book of Numbers was created as part of the combination by a redactor of the Torah from two competing parallel works known as JE and the Priestly source
Deuteronomy –Early Jewish analysis

Joshua—Joshua
Judges—While the authorship of Judges has traditionally been ascribed to Samuel,
Ruth—Many of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible books do not identify the author and the Book of Ruth is no different;
I Samuel –Samuel, Gad, and Nathan

I Kings—The authorship, or rather compilation, of these books is uncertain. The sources of the narrative are explicitly given as:




II Kings— see above

Esther— still looking
Job –A great diversity of opinion exists as to the authorship of this book. comprehensible for the Israelites, and Solomon l

Psalms – David was the main author, although there are others

Answer 2

I can't figure out where people get the idea that the Bible is anonymous. Sure there are parts that don't have a signature but most of it is pretty obvious. I don't hear people questioning other ancient manuscripts just because they don't know the author's name.

Why all the angst against the Bible? If you truly didn't believe it and didn't believe there was a God then you simply wouldn't give it a thought. You don't worry about other ancient writings do you? There's only one reason that I can think of that would make someone so adamant to deny an ancient book's validity. Somewhere, deep down inside, they have an uneasy feeling that it's true and that if that's the case then they would have a God to answer to. So they do everything they can to make themselves feel better by downing God and His book.

Where does that deep down feeling come from? Check it out. If It's from the God you're denying, you'd best listen because you've gotten your first proof of His existence.

Answer 4

Everybody how read the Bible knows that The Bible was inspired by God and written by people that God used in the past.

The Bible it's a book's collection all about God and power, God's plan for the world and God's plan in each person.

You have to open the Bible to read the authors name in each book. the names are written just below each book name.

Answer 5

first 5 books of the bible was written by Moses. In fact there are concrete evidences as to who wrote certain books of the bible. You might be surprised but many Christians live to disprove or prove any ambiguities.

Regardless the entire work was inspired by God.

Answer 6

That's the same thing i keep asking. And then this bible we read half of it it's translated wrong. And then there is many realigions with different bibles. But it is a good way to keep faith and hope in some people because they really believe it. I personally don't believe in the bible. But i think that there is something I dont know what but it could be anything.

Answer 7

The only ones I know were Moses writing the first five books, so I proved you wrong, yes?

You never said prooving the whole bible, something NOONE can do, so it is a thing of Faith, yes? Something that has escaped your mind from young, yes?

You atheists try to trap Christians in the worst ways, but your unbelief is the root of any foul play. By your question, only something will suffice, not everything.......so something it is, Moses wrote the first five. You may now say you are sorry.......

Answer 8

Are you saying that you want someone to list for you 40 people that wrote the Bible?

Answer 9

The bible was written to long ago for someone to have a list of authors or even comfirmation that any of the storys are true. Religion is based on one word, Faith. If you are a true christian then you have faith that the bible it true. If you don't have faith then your not.

Answer 10

they cant prove its the word of god. thats why they call it faith. personaly I think its just a collection of word of mouth stories that were writen down between 100 ad and 400 ad and then compiled into a politicaly sanctioned book by I think emperor agustus of rome. but i could be wrong on the name. its been along time since i took a history of the bible class
