It looks like you left the book name blank. Which book of the Bible would you like information about?

If you weren’t sure which book you meant, here are a few commonly-asked examples (with the “most likely author” from a typical evangelical perspective and a brief reason):

– Genesis – Moses. Evangelicals typically hold Mosaic authorship because of biblical claims that Moses wrote laws and many ancient Jewish and Christian traditions that attribute the Pentateuch to him.
– Isaiah – Isaiah son of Amoz. Most evangelicals affirm single‑author Isaiah (the 8th‑century prophet) rather than multiple authors, based on internal unity, early Jewish/Christian use, and prophetic detail.
– Psalms – Mostly King David (with other contributors). Evangelicals accept multiple human authors with David as the principal contributor, and view the Psalms as inspired worship and theology.
– Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs – Solomon. Traditional evangelical view attributes authorship to Solomon (some individual Proverbs and Ecclesiastes debated but traditionally Solomonic).
– Matthew – Matthew the tax collector/apostle. Evangelicals hold the apostolic authorship and use of eyewitness testimony.
– Mark – John Mark (associate of Peter). Seen as Peter’s interpreter; early patristic testimony (Papias) supports this.
– Luke – Luke the physician (companion of Paul). Evangelicals accept Luke’s authorship and historical approach (see Luke–Acts linked dedication).
– John (Gospel) – John the apostle (the “beloved disciple”). Many evangelicals affirm Johannine authorship and apostolic authority.
– Acts – Luke. Same reasons as the Gospel of Luke.
– Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, etc. – Paul. Evangelicals accept Pauline authorship of the undisputed letters on both internal style and historical testimony.
– Hebrews – anonymous in the text; evangelical views vary. Traditionalists often attributed it to Paul; many modern evangelicals acknowledge the letter’s anonymous status and accept other candidates (Barnabas, Luke, Apollos) while emphasizing the letter’s apostolic authority and theological unity with the New Testament.
– James – James the brother of Jesus (leader in early Jerusalem). Many evangelicals accept this attribution.
– 1 Peter – Peter the apostle. Generally accepted by evangelicals.
– 2 Peter – More debated; some evangelicals accept Petrine authorship, others see it as pseudonymous.
– Jude – Jude (brother of Jesus). Common evangelical attribution.
– Revelation – John the apostle (John of Patmos). Most evangelicals accept Johannine authorship and prophetic character.

Tell me which specific book you have in mind and I’ll give a focused summary from an evangelical perspective: traditional attribution, reasons (internal and external evidence), major supporting scholars/teachers, and implications for interpretation and doctrine.
