How did the Bible first originate?

The Christian Bible is generally thought to represent the written text of the books (Scrolls) containing stories (accounts) of the ancient Hebrews (Old Testament)The new Testimate was written by people that were apostles or were in the accompany of an apostle. For example, The Gospel of Mark was written by Mark who was in the company of Paul.Much later, it was organized into what we know of as the Bible. All the written text was inspired by God.AnswerThe Hebrew Bible (what we would call the Old Testament) was already complete by the time of Jesus. It was originally separate scrolls of individual books that were compiled by Ezra (as well as others) at the time of the Jewish exile. The New Testament also consisted of separate accounts including the gospels and letters of Paul that were circulating across the Roman Empire during the first century. It wasn't until the fourth century that the books were standardised into what we call the New Testament although most of the books were accepted as scripture long before then.Many of the Old Testament writers are unknown although a large proportion of the books have been attributed to various authors (eg many of the psalms are attribted to King David). The New Testament authors are, by and large known, except for that of the Letter to the Hebrews (almost certainly not Paul) and Revelation (although this is attributed to John). Contrary to the above, the text is not 'written by God' but by humans, with their own slants, bias and agendas. However, Christians believe that these texts are nevertheless inspired by God as the Holy Spirit guided their thoughts and words.
