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.
