It looks like the book name is missing from your question — could you tell me which Bible book you mean?

If you’d like, here are a few common requests and a brief evangelical-oriented summary of the “most likely” author for each, so you can pick one:

– Pentateuch (Genesis–Deuteronomy): Traditional evangelical view assigns primary authorship to Moses (with recognition that the text likely preserves later editorial activity and additions). Conservative scholarship emphasizes Mosaic core authorship while allowing for subsequent redaction.
– Psalms: Many evangelicals attribute large portions to David (especially those with superscriptions), though the Psalter is understood as a collection with multiple authors (Asaph, the Sons of Korah, Solomon, Moses, anonymous).
– Isaiah: Traditionally ascribed to the prophet Isaiah ben Amoz. Many evangelicals hold to single-author Isaiah (chapters 1–66) or an Isaiah with later prophetic additions but maintain prophetic unity and continuity.
– Matthew (Gospel): Traditionally attributed to Matthew the tax collector/apostle. Evangelical scholars point to early church testimony (Papias, church fathers), internal features, and theological intent supporting Matthean authorship.
– Luke–Acts: Common evangelical position: Luke the physician (companion of Paul) wrote both Luke and Acts; evidence used includes Luke’s “we” passages, style, and early patristic testimony.
– John (Gospel) and Revelation: Evangelicals usually attribute the Gospel and the three epistles to John the Apostle; Revelation is commonly attributed to John of Patmos (some evangelicals identify him with the apostle, others treat him as a distinct John but still an early Christian prophet).
– Hebrews: Historically the most debated. Evangelicals are split: some favor Pauline authorship (old tradition), others favor an anonymous Jewish-Christian teacher (candidates proposed include Barnabas, Luke, Apollos). Conservative scholars weigh internal style, theology, and early church testimony in different ways; however, evangelicals uniformly accept Hebrews as apostolic in authority even when authorship is uncertain.
– Paul’s epistles: Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, Philemon, and often Ephesians and Colossians and 2 Thessalonians — evangelicals generally accept Pauline authorship for the undisputed letters and evaluate the undisputed vs. disputed letters individually using historical, linguistic, and theological criteria.

If you tell me the specific book you meant, I can give a fuller evangelical perspective: evidence for traditional authorship (internal claims, early church testimony), reasons scholars question it (linguistic, theological, historical), and the practical implications for interpretation and doctrine.
