The only 'author' of the Bible is God who used various peoples, via inspiration via His Holy Spirit, to codify the now 66 Books of the Bible (originally 49 books but some were broken out into 2 or more).

A list of Bible verses which were deemed anachronistic but later shown to be perfectly accurate would run into the many hundreds.
At least 200,000 books are published every year. Including novels, picture books, reference books and many other book genres.
