Chapter 1: The Bible and its Origins

The Bible is a collection of texts written by multiple authors over a span of many centuries. The identities of these authors vary depending on the specific books and passages within the Bible. Here's an overview of the different authors and contributors to the Bible:

Old Testament: Moses (Pentateuch): Tradition places the writing of the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) between 1400 and 1200 BCE, although they were likely compiled and edited over time.

David (Psalms): Many of the Psalms are traditionally attributed to David, who lived around 1000 BCE.

Solomon (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon): Solomon is traditionally credited with writing Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon around the 10th century BCE.

Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc.): The prophetic books were written over a span of several centuries, with Isaiah likely writing between 8th and 7th centuries BCE, Jeremiah in the 6th century BCE, and Ezekiel during the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE).

New Testament: The Four Evangelists (Gospels): The Gospels were written between approximately 70 and 100 CE. Mark is often considered the earliest Gospel, followed by Matthew, Luke, and John.

Paul the Apostle (Epistles): Paul's Epistles were written between the 50s and 60s CE. His earliest letters include 1 Thessalonians (around 50 CE), and his later letters include Romans (mid-50s CE) and the pastoral Epistles (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus) written later.

Other Apostles and Disciples: Other New Testament letters and the Book of Acts were written during the 1st century CE, capturing the early history of the Christian Church.

John of Patmos (Revelation): The Book of Revelation is believed to have been written around the late 1st century CE.

These dates are approximate and are based on scholarly research, historical context, and traditions associated with the books. It's important to note that the exact dates of writing can be difficult to determine due to the nature of ancient texts and the
