It was written by men thousands of years ago . Some of the events were true historical facts. Most of the great and ancient civilizations have a record of the great flood. Most ancient religions acknowledge a historically true figure known as Jesus who was crucified. Most religions regard him as a great teacher with good ideas for human behavior and how to form a relationship with God. Many of the men who wrote the Bible say they were inspired by God himself --------as to what to write.The Old Testament was written by Jewish Scholars....which Jesus quoted from alot in his teachings. The new testament was written by many of Jesus's peers......except Paul ------who never met Jesus .......claimed God came upon him and basically told him what to write.

The bible is a compolation of a few books that were considered useful and informative about the history of our world and religion in general. The very brief form we see today is a mere wisp of the greater overall collection of manuscripts and scrolls that once were more numerous and detailed from antiquity. Those original papers are copied and translated and harmonized into a collective treatus as a single book…the Bible. Of course it has taken many years of work by many thousands of people to get all this bound into a book and many revisions and reinterpertations have replaced older versions time and again. I do not doubt that further revisions will be needed as we advance through time and our gradual amalgamation into one people with one language and one religion.    

The origin was the ink and paper. The production was that of popular belief at the time.
