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.
