Aixen: Compilations of the sort you mention exist, wherein attempts have been made to match biblical authors with their writings. Various lists abound, but there is no definitive list and no unanimous agreement among scholars. Three categories emerge: books whose author is certain, books whose author is probable, and books whose author is unknown. Of all books that comprise Scripture, however, the Author is God regardless of whose human hands penned the words. That's the important thing. --Hank | ||||||

I am sure there is some value in those efforts and in those compilations. How much, I cannot say. I will only say I am glad the word of God itself is that much more consistent and certain. As for your conclusion, if a one-word answer could convey it, I would say "Amen". If I could see your cursor, I would shake your hand. It is marvelous how each part of Scripture shows itself to be the word of God, principally because it is endorsed or authorized by our Lord Jesus Christ. It also testifies of him and for him. But the Spirit and the Word go so well together, the human author hardly seems to matter, except that he is a "holy man" whom the Spirit chose to use and a part of the context in which the holy Spirit spoke. The focus rightly rests on the one divine Author. |
