The bible is a collection of books. The books of the old testament comes from before the birth Jesus. The new testament are the books concerning the birth of Jesus and what comes after. As well as the books in the current bible, there were many other books written by people at the time (including many fakes written afterwards). Also there were many copies and different translations that did not match up. The current bible came about when the Pope organised the theologians of the day to go through all the books and sort them out. The books of the bible were written over a long period of time, all we have left are copies of the originals.

The Bible has 66 books. 39 of which are in the Old Testament. That's roughly 59% of the Bible. The math above, while quick, is not entirely accurate. A number of books in the Old Testament such as Psalms and Jeremiah, are incredibly long. In fact, the nine longest books in the Bible are all in the Old Testament. Of the seven shortest books in the Bible, six are from the New Testament. Therefore, it is probably more accurate to say that 75% of the Bible's pages are Old Testament.
What books in the Bible are dubious?
A:If by 'dubious' you mean books that were written as historical novels, this would be the Books of Esther and Daniel, as historians say that these books were actually written in the second century BCE about an earlier period and, where they refer to actual persons or events, are entirely inconsistent with the historical record as we now know it.If by 'dubious' you mean books about which the early Church Fathers were in dispute as to whether they should be included, the list particularly includes 2 Peter and Revelation.Protestants believe that some books found only in the Catholic Bible are also dubious. Of course there are grounds for considering other books of the Bible to be dubious, but this depends on your definition of the term.
