The Authors of the Bible are a collection of men (and possibly women) who have authored or co-authored literature that has appeared in the canons of Judaism and the various forms of Christianity. The list that follows is perpetually subject to debate, and the declaration of canonicity of each work is dependent upon the religious group to which one refers. The list will follow the order of the Eastern Orthodox canon, as it is generally the most inclusive. Authorship is always debatable, and consensus can only be reached to a certain degree. What follows is based on various sources, giving strongest credit to tradition and areas of large consensus.
