Too Many Authors?

Some people think that having too many will cause errors. Normally, there would be.

Imagine writing an essay on a controversy topic, or a topic one can’t fully understand, like black holes. No one is 100% sure what a black hole is.

Now, have 40 different authors write an essay about this topic. These men are scattered throughout history, about a 4,000 year window. Some lived in Egypt, some in Rome, some in Israel, some Babylon. They all are from different backgrounds, education and occupation: an Egypt prince, fisher men, a former slave, religious leaders, kings, prophets, etc. Now, take all these essays and put them into one book. What do you have? A mess!

This was how the Bible was written: 40 different authors all from different time frames, backgrounds, and places writing about the most controversial and mysterious topic ever known to mankind: God. God’s hand was on these men as they wrote.

Since God is flawless, so is His word.
