Who is the author of the Bible?

Dan Brown.

Please award the Best Answer points to me right now becuase you cannot argue the logic of this response and you stand in awe of the tremendous empathy and intelligence of this responder. Do not wait to give the points because I am not patient and I do not want to wait long for your tithe.

Certainly not the author of the Harry Potter Big Bang theory, nor the scientist who once argued the world was flat, nor indeed Aristotle or Socrates nor Plato for they couldn't compile a nursery rhyme without getting all hung up on the ethics of mindless violence towards blind mice.

Neither the likes of Shakespeare or Pasternak, along with Tennyson, Cowper, Balzac, Goethe, Hume, Byron, Dickens, Freud, or any other European writer could get anywhere close to being the author of the Bible owing to their diminution in size, even as a collective contribution of thought, compared to eternity.

The author could be God. But then, He wouldn't stoop so low as to be canonized by a bunch of half wits.

If you want to know the author - READ JESUS.

When you hear someone say 'from the Book of Mattthew, Chapter 2 verse 5' The clue is in the title. Matthew Mark Luke and John wrote the New Testament, concurrent with Jesus' life, all the other books, e.g. Isiah, Leviticus, Dueteronomy, Genesis, Revelations constitute the Old Testament, dating some two thousand years before Christ.

Interestingly, read the New testament, and see how the four 'witnesses' give varying stories of events.

Then read the Zend Avesta, the Zarathustran faiths' holy text, some 6,500 years old, and see if you think that the Old Testament is a poor carbon copy of much of it.

The Bible is a compilation of notes and memoirs from different people. Mostly, the Prophets of old, Men of God and the Apostles. They are people who, either had revelations from God, actually experienced the unique presence of Jesus Christ, or were simply inspired by the Holy Spirit. e.g Nehemiah; Job, Esther; David; Solomon; Jeremiah; Mathew; Mark; Luke; John; Peter; James, e.t.c

But all in all, God actually made all these possible by moving these great men to write, so i guess u could say that God is the True Author of the Bible.

Basically the scribes, the Bible has many authors and has been translated many ways. Even today the Bible has been changed so teens with street language can understand it. Changing the measuring system to the American system. The amount of gold coins Judas sold Jesus out for in estimated dollars.

There are a lot of different authors. Every book of the Bible is by someone different. There are even books of the Bible that no one knows who wrote them, like Revelation.

The Bible was written by 40 different authors. Some of them well-known, and others not. Yet every word was inspired by God.

Bible (base word of bibliography) means a compilation of writing from many authors. There are at least 26 identified authors.

Moses wrote the first 4 Books, then there were many prophets such as Isaiah, Ezekial, Jeremiah, Amos, etc.

The authors of the New Testament are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James, and Paul pretty much, oh yeah, and who could forget Jude?

One person did not write it. Rather, the Old and New Testaments were written by 40 different authors, located in Asia, Africa and Europe, over a 1600-year time span.

There are many authors from many different periods in Jewish and Early Christian history. Much of the early part of the bible is collected from word-of-mouth stories that were passed from generation to generation.

The inspiration behind it is people's belief in God and the consideration by many scholars that the truths expressed, either factually or in poetic or allegorical terms, are the best guide to a knowledge of God. Hence it is written by humans but said to be inspired by God (poetically, 'the Word of God').
