Ask Dr. Logos

On July 24, 2009, in Children's Ministry (Anchor Bay), by Children's Ministry

Dear Dr. Logos,
Who wrote the Bible?
Sincerely,
Curiously Contemplating

Dear Curious,
Good question! The Bible has more than forty different authors and only one author! Sound confusing? Not really!
God is the one true author of Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, it all comes from him. That’s why we call it God’s word. Now here’s the tricky part: God chose to use more than forty different human authors to do the actual writing.
That’s what it means when people say the Bible is “inspired by God” or “God-breathed.” God inspired Moses, for example, to write the first five books of the Bible. That means that God guided Moses along so that he wrote exactly what God wanted him to write. God did the same thing with the prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel. God inspired King David to write many of the Psalms. And God inspired the Apostle Paul, who wrote 13 of the New Testament books. Get the idea?

Now take some time to look up these verses, which tell a little bit more about the Bible-writing process
2 Timothy 3:16-17
2 Peter 1:20-21
