So many of us, are very curious about who the author of the Bible is? And when was this Bible written? Let's explore this topic with me.
According to historical tradition as well as the assertion of many Bible scholars, it is asserted that the Bible was written by man and used by God. All of the manuscripts that make up the Bible today were written over a millennium and a half.
The manuscript was written by 36 men known by name plus the sons of Korah, as they are called in the scriptures. All these people collaborated in sacred writings, mostly in the Old Testament and a few in the New Testament.
In 1947, a boy goat herder while searching for lost goats in Qumran by the Dead Sea stumbled into a cave. He found earthen jars with scrolls of parchment inside. These manuscripts were later identified by the Jerusalem Bible Institute as dating to the time of Jesus.
Then, people excavated this area from 1947 to 1956 and discovered about 870 more manuscripts. By the early 1990s, all of these texts were published. Experts have collaborated to restore, read and interpret these texts. They are written in Hebrew and Aramaic and contain passages from the Hebrew Bible that recount the lives of famous biblical figures such as Noah or Abraham. The contents of the manuscripts talk about the birth of the Savior and the desire for God's grace.
According to what has been found by scripture scholars, some biblical texts were written by various scribes or authors. Some examples of this can be mentioned in the book of Psalms.
The main collaborator in the book of Psalms is King David, but other Psalms were also written by the sons of the Korah, Mosé, Ethan, and Asaph. The names of these people will then be detailed and the Bible editions of the Old or New Testaments that each of them wrote.
In the nineteenth century, several writers discovered different styles in the Old Testament, indicating that there were many different authors. Regarding the Old Testament, analysts have changed the way the problem is put. Instead of wondering who wrote the Bible, they now ask, “When was the Bible written?” It seems that the Jewish Bible is a collection of scriptures written over and over again in the first millennium B.C.E and not by one person who wrote them.
It was not until the 6th century BC that the canon recounts of the stories from the 2nd millennium BC were fully edited. The authors of those sutras relied not only on references before their time but also on oral stories that are now untraceable. Thus, the more you try to search, the less likely you are to find the author of the Bibles.
With the New Testament, it is a bit different because everyone agrees that each Gospel was written by one person. But even this is more of a conjecture than an assertion. One problem with the gospels is that they were compiled in the first century AD recording the messages of Jesus half a century after His death.
Thus, from the above time periods, the question "Who was the author of the Bible?" is still a parameter with no exact answer. One can only say: The Bible is inspired by God (the Father of Jesus Christ), God is the author, and the Bible is written by man through the inspiration of God.
