. The books in The Bible were written over a period of 1400 to 1800 years by over 40 different authors. It took a very long time to write all the stories in the bible because they are all very long stories.
The Torah (the Five Books of Moses): According to tradition, the Torah was given by God to Moses (Exodus 24:12) in 1312 BCE. Moses taught it to the people (Exodus ch.34), and put it in writing before his death (Deuteronomy 31:24) in 1272 BCE
Nevi'im (the Prophets): Jewish tradition (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b) states that the prophetic books were written by the authors whose names they bear: Joshua, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, etc. Judges is credited to Samuel, and Kings was written by Jeremiah. The prophetic books were written in the time of the prophets, from the 1200s BCE (Joshua) to the 300s BCE (Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi).
Ketuvim (the Writings): Jewish tradition (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b) states that the Writings were written by the authors whose names they bear: Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah. Ruth was written by Samuel; Lamentations was written by Jeremiah; Psalms was set in writing by King David; Chronicles was written by Ezra; Proverbs, Song of Songs and Kohellet (Ecclesiastes) were written by King Solomon; and Esther was written by Mordecai and Esther. The Writings were written between 900 BCE (Ruth) to the 300s BCE (Esther, Daniel, Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah).
Concerning Job, the Talmud states more than one opinion as to when it was written.
Hebrew Bible Canon: Our tradition is that from the time of the First Destruction, God's presence was no longer felt as clearly as before (see Deuteronomy 31:17-18). In addition, exile is not conducive to prophecy (Mechilta, parshat Bo). At that time, the last of the prophets realized that prophecy would soon cease; and that the dispersal of the Jewish people, plus the almost continuous tribulations from the First Destruction onwards, made it imperative to seal the canon of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). The Sages of the time, including the last living prophets, convened a special synod for a couple of decades, which was called the Men of the Great Assembly (Mishna, Avot ch.1). This group, who functioned some 2360 years ago, composed the blessings and the basic prayers of the siddur (prayerbook) and the early portions of the Passover Haggadah, made many of the Rabbinical decrees, and (most importantly) sealed the canon of the Tanakh. It was they, for example, who set the twelve Minor Prophets as (halakhically) a single book, and who set the books of the Tanakh in their traditional order (see Talmud, Bava Batra 14b). It was the Men of the Great Assembly whom Esther had to approach when she felt that the Divinely inspired Scroll of Esther should be included in the canon (see Talmud, Megilla 7a).
Since the sealing of the Tanakh, no Jewish sage has ever claimed prophecy.
Biblical letters, also known as Epistles, were written by the Apostles of the early Church. Most commonly known among them was St. Luke (Acts), St. Peter, St. James, St. John, and St. Paul. Most (if not all) were originally written within the lifetime of the authors. Many scholars date the original manuscripts within years of the ministry of Jesus.
Well we don't know when the actual Bible was written but what we do know is that the first Bible to be written in English was written in the 1380's. It was written by John Wycliffe who was an Oxford Professor, scholar and theologian.
Scholars say that the Book of Deuteronomy was actually written at that time, to be found in the Temple. They say that this was not an isolated event, pointing to a quite similar event recorded in the Book of Jeremiah.
The Book of Genesis had its beginnings quite early in the first millennium BCE, when separate texts were written by anonymous authors now known as the Yahwist and the Elohist. These texts were subsequently combined into a single scripture some time after 722 BCE. Where the two texts parallelled each other, the Yahwist's version was generally kept and the Elohist version discarded, although there are instances where both versions were kept and conflated together. Another anonymous source, the Priestly Source, added further material during the Babylonian Exile, but it was not until some time after the Exile that Genesis was redacted into more or less the form we know today.

When the Bible was written, paper was not invented. The Bible was first written on clay tablets. Then it was written on animal skin and kept in stone jars to preserve them. It was then written on papyrus. Now it is written on paper.
