Why did it take so long, and so many guys to write the Bible?

It pleased God to use many people so that when thousands of years later when everything corresponded perfectly despite writers having lived centuries apart, we would know that it truly was the hand of God guiding the entire process

Time to write the Bible.

THE Bible was written over a period of 1,600 Years, By 40 Different authors, and is supported by Biblical Archeology.

The Canonical text - The New Testament contains 27 Books - Thirteen written by Paul. Five have been attributed to John, Two by Peter, Luke - Acts, Two other Gospel's were ascribed to Matthew and Mark and three

single Epistle's to James and Jude. No one alive knows who wrote Hebrews.

Luke also wrote most of Paul's Epistles dictated by Paul from various Prisons.The writings started in around 50AD.

The Old Testament - First five books Moses received from God in Person face to Face. The rest of the Old Testament was given by God to His Prophets and Scribes by dreams or visions.

Erasmus-- Translation of the Bible.

For centuries, many Christians were not even permitted to read the word of GOD. Instead they were told to learn Latin or attend Latin services, which few could understand this language or read it.

In 1516 A Dutch Scholar named Erasmus researched and published The first New Testament, in the Greek Language. His works lead to Martian Luther's German Bible, Tyndale's English Bible and The King James Version.

These translations, finally brought the Bible to Millions of people around the World.

Well, you ARE dealing with thousand of years of history and prophecy in addition to the New Testament times. So you have several different authors all writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is a cohesive unit worthy of study and application.

Yes, it's a great question. The one source of everything about Christianity wasn't one of the amazing things that God apparently did.

Well...for starters, "divinely inspired" does not mean "can write faster than humanly possible".

What exactly divine inspiration is might not be what you have in mind.

GOD DOES WHATEVER HE WISHES...THINK OF HIS POWER INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND FAULT WITH THE HOLY BIBLE...

that would islam... everyone knows proof i more than enough when done in large numbers

As stupid as the BuyBull is, you can only imagine how stupid the writers were. So, do the math.
