[quote:all_the_kings_horses 619119:MV85Njg3MTNfMTUxMjYwMTdfQUY5NDNCQQ==] The book of Genesis is believed to have been written by Moses. That is more like a popular tradition rather than a truth. Interesting fact: the word Genesis cannot be found inside the Bible. [quote:all_the_kings_horses 619119] the correct word is Pseudepigraphy. Also remember that the Bible is actually a collection of smaller books or epistles. In tracing the origin of the Bible, one is led to AD 325, when Constantine the Great called the First Council of Nicaea, composed of 300 religious leaders. Three hundred years after Jesus lived, this council was given the task of separating divinely inspired writings from those of questionable origin. The actual compilation of the Bible was an incredibly complicated project that involved churchmen of many varying beliefs, in an atmosphere of dissension, jealousy, intolerance, persecution and bigotry. At this time, the question of the divinity of Jesus had split the church into two factions. Constantine offered to make the little-known Christian sect the official state religion if the Christians would settle their differences. Apparently, he didn't particularly care what they believed in as long as they agreed upon a belief. By compiling a book of sacred writings, Constantine thought that the book would give authority to the new church the question was: Who wrote the Book of Genesis. The answer is No one know who the author of Genesis was. In fact most of the books of the Bible were written by unknown authors. There are only a very few excepts. What we call Identity thief today was extremely popular during the times that the Bible books were written. It was very common for people to copy others people work and claim authorship for it.
