God!. He wrote the Bible!. Perhaps you've heard of it!.

For those unaware, God is the author of the entire Bible!. He used some men who wrote what God told them to write!. That makes Him the author!.

One derived authority is above every other kind of derived authority, and that is the Bible!. Because the Bible is inspired by God, it has divine power and authority!. God did not give the Scriptures to be read only, but to be believed and obeyed!.(2 Tim 3:16)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work!.
2 Peter 1:20-21), it has divine power and authority!. God did not give the Scriptures to be read only, but to be believed and obeyed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A few points:

1- God did not write the Bible!. The Bible had many writers!.
2- Alana, you can't even spell so I don't think you have the right to say Meyer is the greatest author in history (unless it's some bad joke)!.

Shakespeare's a probable, and some of the writing in the Bible is very good!.

I'll go for, hmm, I don't know!. Maybe Vladimir Nabokov, just to be different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm going to get a lot of criticism for this, because people "supposed" to be named most talented are the authors of classics!.!.!.you know, Bronte, Dickens, Shakespeare, Twain, etc!. etc!.!.!.but the writers who really do it for me are Stephen King, Michael Crichton, J!.K!.Rowling, Edgar Allan Poe, & Lewis Carroll!. I like alot of the "modern classics" better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
