Greetings creek! The 66 books of the Bible were authored by at least 37 different authors, if not more. It is believed that Moses wrote Genesis (the first book) through Deuteronomy, and the Apostle John wrote the book of Revelation (the last book). We do not know when the book of Genesis was written, but we think that it was around 1500 to 1400 B.C. We believe that the book of Revelation was written around 90 A.D. So as you can see, we have an "agreed upon" timespan of around 1600 years in which the Bible was "written." Blessings to you, Nolan |

Greetings, Nolan; This answer is one of the reasons that the Bible on its own merits is different from all other "holy books" and entirely believable. The Book of Mormon and the Qu'ran, for example, are pure prophecy (messages alleged to be from God). The Hindu and Buddhist writings are collected sayings or books by human authors claiming no inspiration. Only the Bible reveals God as an agent in recorded human history. Only the Bible contains prophecies that can be independently verified. And only the Bible ties the work of so many authors, separated by geography and time, into a single, consistent message. As a believer, I find the Bible believable because it is an inspired testimony to Jesus. To a non-believer, these facts might be persuasive. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Greetings Indiana (or Henry, maybe?), I most certainly agree! The Bible is far different from any of those works that you have mentioned and even the Apocrypha. Only the Bible claims to be inspired by the Holy Spirit! And even though it was written by 37 different people (at least), each one of these were all inspired by the same Holy Spirit! Excellent observation in saying that only the Bible reveals God as an agent in recorded human history! Blessings to you, Nolan |

Thanks, Nolan; Age-wise, I'm somewhere between Indy and Henry. But with the same good looks, of course. ;-) I once preached a sermon that dealt with reasons for believing the Bible is God's inspired word quite apart from any claims it makes for itself. I didn't write any of it down (God gave it to me whole) but if I ever do, I'll post it on the web. Happy New Year. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
