BIBLE HARMONY
The Bible was written by approximately 40 writers over a period of 1,600 years. The writers were generally not conscious of the works of the others. They wrote from three different continents, and spoke three different languages. They were fishermen, farmers, shepherds, soldiers and kings. They wrote in palaces, pastures, prisons and tents. Some were highly educated and some were unlearned. Yet there is perfect unity—absolutely not contradictions.
The Bible is united in theme:
The Old Testament theme is Christ is coming.
The theme of the four gospels is Christ is here.
The theme of the last part of the New Testament is Christ is coming again.
The Bible is united in purpose:
The Bible relates to the need of human redemption.
The Bible is united in presentation:
If a 40 piece orchestra suddenly began to play – in perfect timing, melody, and harmony – it would be evidence of the direction of a single mind.

The Bible is not just one book it is a collection of books, 66 in all, and they were written between 1,500 BC and 100 AD or over a 1600 year span. It might be valuable also to note that of the 10 most reliable ancient history books the Bible predates the message of all others by 700 years. The oldest copy of these secular history books, in existence today, is from 300 to 1,300 years younger than the copies of the Bible. The greatest number of any ancient history books, not counting our Old Testament, is 634 books. We have 5,000 ancient copies of the Old Testament and 8,000 ancient copies of the New Testament. There is no history book in the world that is better documented for accuracy than our Bible.

Daren1 has the OT dating approximated correctly. However, the NT was written before 70 AD. No mention of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD is mentioned in any of the NT manuscripts, and this surely would have happened if written afterwards. Also, many of the writers were alive when Jesus was still here, and extremely doubtful that would be the case after 70 AD.
