Christians believe, according to the Scriptures, that the Holy Spirit, being God, established The Bible, therefore it is known as the Word of God - 2 Peter 1:21:
"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
Therefore, whilst over forty men wrote the different books of the Bible, in approximately 1500 to 1600 years, they agree with each other because the Holy Spirit was the one in charge, so to speak, actually "bearing up," or "carrying along" those writers to put down the words which they penned.
The New Testament was written by the Apostles and key disciples, such as John Mark and Luke, James, stepbrother of Christ and the great missionary Apostle Paul; the Jewish scriptures (Old Testament) were considered "written by the prophets," and were regarded by Christ and the Early Christians as the inspired Word of God.

Is there chapters taken out of the Bible?
The Bible text is established by scholars engaged in studying the manuscripts that we have from the early church. The idea of chapters being "taken out of the Bible" assumes that we have a single manuscript that is the agreed-on text, and that is simply not true. (There is agreement for about 95% or so of the text, and no doctrinal issues depend on disputed readings). Almost any Bible will have alternate readings for some of the verses listed in the notes at the bottom of the page. Now if you look at John 8 in a modern Bible, you may see a heading note for it or you may see it in parenthesis. This is because the current opinion of most scholars is John 8 is not supported by the best and earliest manuscripts. On the other hand, the story there is very consistent with John's writing and Jesus's life and teachings, so it is included in the Bible but annotated. But the chapter has not been "taken out" of the Bible.
