Who Wrote the Bible? : a Book for the People

This volume offers a concise, readable tour of the human story behind the Bible’s formation. It sets aside theological doctrine to examine how the ancient texts were written, copied, edited, and carried through generations, treating the scriptures much like any other work of literature. By tracing the roles of scribes, translators, and communities, the author reveals the layered process that turned separate scrolls into the collection we know today.

The book also explores the evolution of the very name “Bible,” showing how it emerged centuries after the texts were first composed. Readers will encounter facts that may unsettle familiar assumptions, yet the tone remains inviting, urging a fresh appreciation of the spiritual heritage without demanding a loss of faith. It’s an engaging guide for anyone curious about the natural history of these enduring books.
