Parts of the Old Testament are undoubtedly from the cultural memories of the Israelite and Judahite people. The first five books, known as the Pentateuch, are traditionally attributed to Moes, but much of what is in them could not have been known personally to Moses. In fact, scholars say that the Pentateuch was written centuries after the time attributed to Moses, and by several authors. The Elohist source recorded the ancient cultural memories of the people of Israel, while the Yahwist source recorded the ancient cultural memories of the people of Judah. The Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), written in the time of King Josiah (641-609 BCE), clearly includes ancient legends as well as historic material.
Some parts of the Old Testament have the appearance of being historical and of having been written from memory by the main character in the story, or by someone close to the main character, but scholars have established that this is not the case. The Book of Daniel, written as if during the Babylonian Exile, was actually a book of the second century BCE. It can not be considered as representing the memory of one man, or even a cultural memory, due to the large number of historical errors - it was simply a work of fiction.
The most important texts of the New Testament, the four gospels, are traditionally believed to represent the memory of eyewitnesses in Matthew and John, or the records of associates of eyewitnesses, in Mark and Luke. However, they were actually written anonymously and not attributed to these disciples until later in the second century. Scholars say that the gospels were not written from the memory of any eyewitnesses. The Cambridge Ancient History (XI The Imperial Peace A.D. 70-192) says that John was copied from Luke and Mark. Others say that Matthew and Luke were copied from Mark. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that Mark seems to depend on traditions (and perhaps already shaped sources) received in Greek. Just what these traditions and sources were has not yet been confirmed.

The books of the New Testament were written during the time period under God's New Covenant, which was given to mankind after the Lord Jesus Christ walked this earth, became man's substitutionary sacrifice when He was crucified, was buried and rose again.
