Gospel Gumbo

Who Wrote the Bible? Divine Inspiration and Human Hands


Listen Later

Did God write the Bible—or did people?

In this episode of Gospel Gumbo, we explore the mystery of how the Bible came to be. It wasn’t dropped from the sky. It was written over centuries by dozens of people—prophets, poets, apostles, and more—each with their own style, voice, and story.

We’ll talk about:

  • What divine inspiration really means (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)
  • Why the Bible has different literary styles and personalities (Paul vs. John vs. Mark)
  • How some books (like Hebrews) have unknown authors
  • What it means that Jesus affirmed Moses’ authorship—even with disputed parts
  • Why the Bible is both fully human and fully divine in its origin

This episode is for anyone who wants to trust the Bible without pretending it’s simple—because understanding how God speaks helps us hear Him more clearly.
