Who were the ten authors of the Bible?

Answer 1

Because The Bible is actually a collection of 66 books, it was written by many people (40 writers). Some major authors are Moses and Paul, who are credited with writing multiple books each. Each prophetic book in the Old Testament is typically credited to have been written by the person that it is named after, same with the Gospels. Acts was written by the same Luke who wrote the Gospel of Luke. Paul wrote almost all of the New Testament after Acts, except for the letters named after someone else, Hebrews (whose author is still unknown though many stating it belongs to Paul), and Revelation, which was written by John.

It is important to note, however, that the Bible is the 'inspired word of God' given to these particular writers for all our edifications (see 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Answer 2

Many people wrote the Bible.

Here is a guide to the majority of the books:

Old Testament in very rough order that they were written

• Moses wrote the first 5 books in 2000BC.
• All the books of the prophets were given the name of the prophet.
• The Psalms were mostly written by Moses and King David with a few written by the Sons of Korah.
• King Solomon wrote: proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Songs of Solomon

New Testament - in the rough order they were written

• Paul's 13 letters (1 and 2 Thess, Gal, 1 and 2 Cor, Rom, Eph, Phil, Col, Phile, 1 and 2 Tim, Titus)
• Peter, James, Jude wrote their books
• Matthew, Mark, Luke wrote their gospels
• John wrote his 5 books last

I think there were about 40 authors writing throughout about 2000 years. A fascinating testimony to the patience and graciousness of God!

Answer 3

Nobody knows for sure.

People used fake names, the same name, one name, stolen names, and so on.

Nobody knows for sure, each book is written by different people or a combination of people.

It would be like asking who wrote the Dictionary. You could have the same answer.

God!

Answer:

There is only ONE author of the Bible - called the Word of God. There were many writers or recorders of this Word:

2 Timothy 3:16New King James Version (NKJV)

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

Answer 4

The Bible has far more than ten authors (Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Solomon, etc) in the Old Testament alone that spans over several centuries.

For example, there are books from 12 minor prophets (Amos, Hosea, Malachi, etc.) not including the four major prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel). That's 16 authors for just the prophet books.

Answer 5

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me!

Nah I'm jokin'

Answer 6

Men didn't write the Bible. God wrote the Bible.

Answer 7

There were many more than 7 men.
