Most of the Bible was written in what is now Israel.

The Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, was written over a period of at least several hundred years, in various kingdoms, and possibly places not controlled by kings. The earliest references to a written Bible come from what was called the United Monarchy of Israel. The Bible itself records the division of that kingdom, the destruction of the kingdoms that followed it, and the activities of Jewish people under various other governments, both in what is now Israel, and Mesopotamia. The include the empires of the Babylonians, Persians, and Seleucid Greeks. Also, there were a number of local kingdoms.

The New Testament was written at least partly written in Israel while it was controlled by the Roman Empire, but some parts were written elsewhere. The Epistles were letters written to various people or groups of people in various parts of the empire, and many of them could have been written in various parts of the empire while the leaders of the early church were travelling.
