The Bible was written by 40+ authors over a span of more than 1500 years. The authors were from various walks of life:

Moses was a leader trained in the universities of Egypt

Solomon was a king

Joshua was a military general

Peter was a fisherman

Luke was a doctor

Matthew was a tax collector

Paul was a Jewish leader

Daniel was a politician

Amos was a herdsman

It was written in prison (Paul), the wilderness (Moses), in a palace (Daniel), while on travel (Luke) and on a island (John). The writers wrote in different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek) and lived in different countries (from Egypt to Rome and probably on out to Persia).

In spite of being written by so many different authors from so many walks of life, who lived in different lands in different times, and addressing so many controversial subjects, the Bible speaks in complete harmony. It has one overiding theme:
