The library of books in the Bible was and still is a primary way God communicates with us, giving us guidance. God wants us to know him, to know our origins and future, and to have guidance for life. So God intentionally and purposely oversaw the process of what was written, using the different personalities and life experiences and situations of each human author to communicate what he wished to say. Every word in the original writings of Scripture was the exact word that God wanted people to have.† So we say there were many authors of the Bible, but only one “Author.”3
