The Bible is one of the world's oldest books. Its oldest sections were written about 1500 years before the birth of Christ. Even its newest sections were written about 1900 years ago.
Clearly, then, having been written over a period of about 1600 years, the Bible was not written by one person. No one knows precisely how many people contributed to the Bible. It is estimated there were about forty authors.
One of the most important facts about the Bible is that those who wrote it did not claim to be the source of the ideas they wrote about. Sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, the authors assert that what they were writing really came from God. For example, one of the writers, Paul, made this statement: All Scripture [i.e., the Bible] is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.` (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Another writer, Peter, wrote: ... For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Pet. 1:21). Other Bible writers confirm the statements of Paul and Peter.
接下来 很明白的是 已经写了将近一千六百年 圣经不只是一个人独立完成的 恰恰没人知道有多少人拔众生精力献给了圣经的编写 人们估计有四十个作家左右
最重要的关于圣经的事实之一是那些写作他的人都没有宣称自己是他们写作的创意的源头 有时很直接 有时很委婉 这些作家表示他们正写着的是真正从 上 帝那里降下的 例如 写作者之一 波尔 就坐下了这种表态 ：所有的经文都产生自上帝的灵感
（ 那个ie什么的大概是目录吧……）以正义为名 这是对教义 非难 正直 公理皆为有利的事情 上帝名下的人会是完美的人 彻底进入一切的美好之中 另一位作者 皮的 写到：……预言并非来自旧日的人们的遗留的意志 而是上帝的圣徒们宣称说他们被圣神感动了 其他的圣经作者证实了波尔和彼得的陈述
希望对你有帮助
