Essay / What is the difference between the Tanakh and the Bible
The authors of the Bible were inspired by God and determined by God (Holman, p. 18). When adding to or subtracting from the Bible, the written pieces had to be presented to the church. If approved, it would be added to the composition of the Bible. In fact, the apocryphal books are the composition of the lost books of the Bible that were not approved to be part of the Bible (Bruce, p. 163). This shows that it was not just ordinary people who wrote the Bible, but also God's chosen people. This is how the Bible was so intricately designed in its divine interpretation.
