Who were the authors of the books of the Bible? | GotQuestions.org

Hello there, many others like you have asked, who were the authors of the books of the Bible? Let's find out, shall we?

Discover even more on gotquestions .org. Ultimately, above the human authors, the

Bible was written by God. 2 Timothy 3 .16 tells us that the Bible was breathed out by God.

Humanly speaking, the Bible was written by approximately 40 men of diverse backgrounds over the course of 1 ,500 years.
