Actually no man authored the Bible, but many men were used to pen the words. As to who they all were... a few from the New Testament are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul. I confess I don't know much about the writters of the Old Testament, but the ones I do know are Moses, David, Solomon, and go down the list of books and pretty much the ones with a person's name was written by that person.

There are 40 authors of the books of the Bible. Most of them we know, but there are anonymous writers too. Some of the authors wrote one book, some wrote several.
Moses is credited for the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy .
Joshua, Judges, and Ruth are historical documents written before or during the reign of King David presumably by priestly historians.
The Psalms were written by King David, Moses, Solomon, the sons of Korah, the sons of Asaph and Ethan the Ezrahite. There are also some Psalms that were written anonymously.
Proverbs, Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes were written by King Solomon, though chapters 30 and 31 of Proverbs were written by Agur and Lemuel respectively.

Paul is responsible for the Pauline Letters which are Romans, 1st Corinthians, 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1st Thessalonians, 2nd Thessalonians, 1st Timothy, 2nd Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.
Peter of the Twelve Disciples wrote 1st and 2nd Peter. John, the Disciple that Jesus loved, wrote 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John and also Revelation.
The book of James has been credited to James the brother of Jesus and the book of Jude was written by Jude the bother of James. Hebrews has been ascribed to the Apostle Paul but is generally considered to have been written anonymously.

God communicated with 40 faithful men as Bible writers by holy spirit. Penning Gods thoughts and not their own. Thus Jehovah God is he author.
