who wrote the bible?

[ronen]

i just want to say that i want a simple short answer if possible

i already know what is the israeli answer to this question but i am interested in what the christians think.
i am interested specifically in the authors of the books in the old testament.

the israeli answer sounds so strange to me that i am equally inclined to think that no earthly author exists at all.

One of Yeshua's primary apostles, Shimon, in writing to the early Church (two of his letters are preserved in B'rit Chadashah) tells us that "first of all, no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. Another apostle, Sha'ul Ha Tarsi, the great scholar and student of Rabbi Gamaliel I, wrote in one of his many letters (also preserved in B'rit Chadashah)—this one to a young leader by the name of Timotiyos—that "from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Messiah Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

Knowing that El Shaddai El Elyon has loved His creation from the moment He conceived it and has always had a plan to restore man to Himself through Mashiach of whom He spoke—openly and in shadow—from Bereshit through Malakhi, I have no doubt whatsoever that He ensured that His chosen ones would accurately record both His teachings and their history and that what we read in both Chadashahs is exactly His Word. The so-called higher critics and the textual critics that preceded them, who claim to have analyzed from the styles of writing and other clues that the holy scriptures were NOT written by who they said they were, when they said they were, are fools. Archeological evidence is constantly revealing more and more that the Kitvei HaKodesh (Holy Scriptures) can be relied upon. Unfortunately the critics all came to the table with presuppositions as to what was possible and what could possibly be true. They were wrong. As the Scriptures say, "the foolishness of God is wiser than men." (1 Corithians 1:25) Don't forget: יושב בשמים ישחק אדני ילעג למו׃

I hope this helps.

Great answer bro
I just want to add that The Bible is the most amazing book in the universe.
66 books penned by 40 different authors in the time span of 1400 years and JESUS the MESSIAH is present from the very first verse of Genesis till the last in Revelation!AMAZING!
It is a truly supernatural book inspired by The Holy Spirit!

In short, we believe that the Holy Scriptures were inspired by G_d--in other words, they were "G_d-breathed" to men who He knew would transmit them faithfully. Although they are written in the styles of individual men, in close examination of them, these books which were written over thousands of years, by people in different lands, and by everyone from shepherds to kings, do not contradict each other. They contain G_d's plan for salvation--to draw all people to Himself with the Jewish people being the "apple of His eye". They are the people through whom He chose to transmit His message.
