The books that make up the Bible were written by many different people. However in 393 at the synod of Hippo it was decided what books would be in the Bible. In 400 the first Latin Bible was translated by Jerome (and others).
There are no more books in the Bible. The Bible is complete with its 66 books which was decided by the church a few hundred years after it was founded by Jesus Christ.
In the entire bible there are 38 books named after people.
It is often claimed that the Bible was edited by men who decided what books to include in the Bible. The editing was directed by guidance and God's holy spirit.
Because a group of holy men of the church decided about 1700 years ago that they were not inspired by the Holy Spirit as were the present 66 books of the Bible.
For the new testament canon Irenaeus of Lyon decided what order they would go in.
This is what I quoted which is the answer to your question;The books in the bible are named after Prophets and People in the bible. Some books are written by themselves or 1 person writes more than 1 book.

AnswerThe Bible does have all the books now recognised as Christian scripture, but not all the books that could have been recognised as scripture. Books such as the Didache, the Shepherd of Hermas and numerous gospels are not included in the New Testament. The Protestant Old Testament includes the books that Judaism decided to include in its Hebrew Bible, and the Catholic Bible contains some additional books from among those that the Jews could have included but did not do so.
Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
73 books in the Bible There are 67 books in the Protestant Bible.
No. In Christian Bible there is 73 books - but Protestant Bible have 66 books.
