Who wrote the New Testament bible?

Answer 1

This question is almost impossible to answer. There are at least 4 evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) however it is now thaught that the gospel of john was actually written by a community of people rather than one people (St John the Apostle). It is thaught that the Apocalypse (Revalation) was written by a different person, and that one person write the three epistles of St John. (John 1-3). It is believed that St Paul wrote most of the epistles in general, and that Jude and peter each wrote some also. The write of Hebrews is unknown, however it is believed that it may have been composed by St Barnabas. Acts was written by the same person who wrote the gospel of luke. so at least eight or nine people had a hand in writing the New Testament.

Answer 2

The four gospels:

Matthew - traditionally attributed to Matthew the appostle, but this is uncertain.

Mark- traditionally attributed to John Mark, companion of Paul, but this is uncertain.

Luke - a Gentile doctor and friend of Paul the apostle

John - almost certainly the apostle John, brother of James and son of Zebedee

Acts of the Apostles - Luke's second book.

The letters

Most were written by Paul the apostle to churches across the Mediterranean area as well as to individuals. The only exceptions are

Hebrews - attributed to Paul but almost certainly written by an unknown author

Letters of Peter, James and John - written by Peter and John the apostles, and James, the brother of Jesus.

Revelation of John - attributed to John the apostle and author of the fourth gospel.

Answer 3

The distinction must be made between the Traditional Authors of The Bible (i.e. those people that religious leaders believe wrote the Bible) and of Scholars' Views of who Wrote the Bible.

Traditional

The Torah states that it was given by God (Exodus 24:12) and written by Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24).

The following Prophetic books were written by the prophet about whom they were written: Joshua, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Hosea, Joel, Amos, etc.

Samuel also wrote Judges and Ruth.

Jeremiah also wrote Kings 1 & 2 and Lamentations.

King David wrote Psalms.

Ezra also wrote Chronicles 1 & 2.

King Solomon wrote Proverbs, Song of Songs, and Kohellet (Ecclesiastes).

Esther and Mordecai wrote Esther

There is little consensus over Job.
