First of all, know that below, you will see the interesting facts about the bible that you didn't know . Therefore, most people's first curiosity, without a doubt, is to know how long ago the Bible was written. Therefore, it is worth noting that the Bible was written by different people and times in around 1500 years. However, this does not mean that it took 1,500 years to be written, but rather to be finished. In reality, it is believed that the writings took much less time.

Furthermore, according to many scholars, the oldest books of the Bible are Genesis and Job. Also, both are believed to have been written by Moses and ended around 1400 BC, more or less 3,400 years ago. Furthermore, the most current book, Revelation, was written in around 90 AD. However, it is an almost impossible mission to know how long it took the authors to write the Bible.

For example, the first books of the Old Testament were written by Moses in about 40 years. But that doesn't mean he spent 40 years writing. Furthermore, the shorter letters Paul sent to the churches may have been written in just one day. So, there is no way to know for sure how long the Bible was actually written.
