The Bible was written by approximately 40 different human authors over 1,500 years — kings, shepherds, fishermen, prophets, and doctors. Christians believe these authors were inspired by the Holy Spirit, making the Bible both fully human and fully divine in its authorship.
Key Question
Who wrote the Bible and how was it written?
2 Timothy 3:16
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
2 Peter 1:20-21
“No prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
“The word 'theopneustos' — God-breathed — is remarkable. The Bible did not originate in the human mind and get approved by God. It originated in God and came through human minds.”
“As a journalist, the diversity of the Bible's authors and the unity of its message is one of the most compelling evidences for its divine origin. No human committee could have produced this.”
“The canon was not decided at Nicaea in 325 AD — that is a popular myth. The New Testament books were recognized and used by the church for centuries before any council formally listed them.”
