4: How did the authors of the Bible get the content?

Hebrews 1 tells us that God spoke to the prophets in many ways. The human authors who wrote the books of the Bible received the content in different ways. Sometimes God spoke directly or gave a vision to the human author, and he wrote down what he saw or heard. Sometimes an author conducted eye-witness interviews, did research and put together an account like a journalist would do. And of course, some authors were themselves, an eyewitness to the things they wrote down. But here’s the important thing. No matter how the words came to the author, they are the exact words that God wanted to be written. We see in each biblical author a unique personality and style, but God is responsible for the content.
