Bible Coolness: Group Effort

The Bible isn't one single book, written by one single person, but it's rather a collection of books from dozens of contributors over a span of thousands of years.

Contributors include:

Moses

Pharoah's adopted grandson, turned desert nomad

David

A shepherd boy and a warrior-poet who slayed a giant and became a king

Ezra

A priest

Nehemiah

A king's cup-bearer

Daniel

A slave turned statesman

Amos

A farmer

Jeremiah

A life-long prophet

Peter and John

Fishermen

Matthew

A tax collector

Luke

A doctor

Paul

A religious zealot

The cool thing is that although these writers have varying backgrounds and they wrote across varying eras, they agree with each other regarding who God is and how He acts.  This shows true testimony (the authors are testifying about something they truly experienced) and common inspiration (all authors interacted with the same God who inspired their writings).

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God....
