"The Bible is a sacred text revered by millions around the world, encompassing a rich tapestry of stories, teachings, and historical accounts. One question that often arises is whether Jesus, the central figure of Christianity, authored any of the books found in the Bible. This article delves into this intriguing inquiry, exploring the historical context, scholarly perspectives, and the evidence surrounding the authorship of the Bible…" Main page

Hmm, I thought the authorship of the main gospels were pretty much settled as far as historians were concerned: basically written decades after Jesus' death, likely by his contemporaries, and likely heavily altered over the next 300 odd years before they were codified into the Bible as we generally know it today. Learn somethin' new every day it seems…. |

Of course not. They were dictated. |

Remember, though, that His followers, well, FOLLOWED Him around for several years, and doubtless heard parables, and the Great Sermon, etc. multiple times. His private conversations would be memorable for other reasons: He is speaking to ME!?! But our faith is that the Holy Spirit was directly involved in their writing. |

I have heard of people turning up at Christian bookstores looking for "an authentic copy of the bible Jesus wrote" the book seller usually knows not to engage on this claim and simply directs them to an appropriate book. Which of course leads to them getting really annoyed when the book is not in English! Robert |

Well, ignorance abounds, but every church I have ever joined was filled with people who study their Bibles religiously. The books get so marked up and annotated that a new one is required every few years. Not all churches stress biblical literacy, but most Protestant ones do. |

Ok, maybe not. But did aliens build the pyramids? *** "Never get your history from Hollywood, your theology from a comic book, or make any life choices from stuff you read on the internet." While there's always going to be grey areas, and academic and ideological debate over esoteric points, any serious questions and textual criticisms of both the Jewish and Christian testaments have been addressed by scholars and theologians years, if not decades, ago. Even though those questions and criticisms have not been resolved to everyone's satisfaction, there are plenty of legitimate, scholarly and informed resources on the topic, if a person is so inclined. I'm all for thoughtful study of the Bible, especially the NT, but I doubt a wiki-crib mash-up will add anything substantive to the conversation. |

An Anglican bishop wrote a book, half a century ago now, arguing that all the NT was written before 70 AD. Because that was when the Temple was destroyed, along with Jerusalem. You can TELL when something has been written before or after such an event. Just as you'd be able to tell whether an American book about Islamic terrorism, or American-Arabic relations generally, was written before or after 9/11/01. It changed everything. link "One of the oddest facts about the New Testament is that what on any showing would appear to be the single most datable and climactic event of the period – the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, and with it the collapse of institutional Judaism based on the temple – is never once mentioned as a past fact.
