A large number of divinely inspired authors.

Agatha Christie, with the help of Stephen King and J.K. Rowling


Serious answer... a shite load of people wrote individual books that were collected into the tome

Fun fact: the book of Revelation is attributed to John, who wrote it in exile on the island of Patmos. You know what else Patmos is famous for? Psychedelic mushrooms.

I find it crazy that Tommy Hebrews will never get the credit he deserves

The New Testament book authors are known with the exception of Hebrews. Matthew - Matthew Mark - Mark Luke - Luke John - John Acts - Luke Romans - Philemon - Paul Hebrews - unknown James - James the brother of Jesus 1 & 2 Peter - Peter 1, 2, 3 John - John Jude - Jude Revelation - John


Guessing Hebrews was written by a Jewish lad. Do we have last names for John, Luke, Matthew and so on and where they resided?

If you can quote anything from the Bible, you more than likely know the authors or could get them in 20 seconds by a google search. Congrats on getting the attention you apparently seek so much.

Maybe the book of Matthew, mark, Luke, John (synaptic gospels- but I digress), can give you a clue on a few of them.
John wrote Revelations while incarceration on isle of Patmos.

This isn't an easy thing to answer, but parts of the New Testament were written within one lifetime of Jesus with eyewitness accounts.

I can at least see the reason why this verse was in “Exodus”, must have been exiled for smoking too much burning bush:

The story of the burning bush is found in Exodus 3:1-17, where Moses encounters God on Mount Horeb. Key verses (NIV) state: "There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up" (Exodus 3:2).

Considering Noah was dead well over a millennium before Moses was born, I don’t think so.

You've never heard of televangelists?

so who did and why don’t they get credit for it?



Many people contributed to the Bible. Not all contributions were retained.

Most of the contributions were passed on orally for centuries before being put to written record, much like the Buddha's teachings were.

The Greeks can be credited with taking the oral teachings and making a written record.

The Byzantines (Romans) can be credited with creating the final version of the Bible as we know it now.

Most of the New Testament books are pseudonymous.
