What books of Bible were written by non-Jews?

Answer 1

There are many books in the entire Bible that the writers' are unclear or not given therefore, it is impossible to answer accurately. Many ideas are currently available for the Book of Genesis to attest to this. However, in the New Testament, a consensus of biblical scholars attribute Luke's writing being of a Gentile:

Luke is commonly noted as the only Gentile writer of a New Testament book. It is from Colossians 4:10-14 that this seems to be the case (differentiates first circumcised then others):

Colossians 4:10-14New King James Version (NKJV)

10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

As a companion of Paul and a highly educated man who clearly was not present during Jesus' ministry. Tradition and early Christian writings of Justin Martyr to Tertullian, identify Luke as the author of the Gospel of Luke.

Answer:

A number of the writers of The Bible were NOT Jews. The first five books were written by Moses... who was a"LEVITE" [of the tribe of Levi] and not a Jew [of the tribe of Judah].

"...there went a man of the House of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi." (Ex.2:1)

The child they conceived was Moses -- a Levite.

Joshua, the son of Nun, was an Ephraimite [of the tribe of Joseph, or a Josephite]... not a Jew.

"Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea [Joshua; see verse 16] the son of Nun." (Num.13:8)

Paul [who became all things to all men: Gentile and Jew] who wrote much of the New Testament, was actually a"Benjaminite" [of the tribe of Benjamin]... not a Jew[of the tribe of Judah].

"... I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN." (Rom.11:1)

The world, however, remains ignorant of the Truth of the Bible... and thinks of ALL THE ISRAELITES AS JEWS... not differentiating between the tribes.

If you think of all the "states" in America the way the world thinks about the "tribes" of Israel as all being Jews... it would be like saying that "ALL AMERICANS ARE VIRGINIANS."

Paul said of himself: "Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I BECAME A JEW, to win Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law). so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some." (I Cor.9:19-22 NIV)
