Bible Quiz: Who wrote the letter of Romans?

Rom 16:22 I Tertius, who write the epistle, salute you in the Lord.

They didn't write the entire bible. The Old Testament is actually the Hebrew Septuagint (from what I understand, this is not the modern day Jewish 'bible'). Many of the books that are in the original OT from the bible are actually quoted and referred to throughout the NT (some of these books were removed by Protestants, but that's another story-- er, argument). As for the New Testament, yes, you could say that "Catholics" were the authors of the New Testament, because the Catholic Church is the original and first Christian Church (which all the apostles were part of in the beginning when Jesus established it-- and since they were essentially Catholic and wrote the books/letters included in the bible then you could say that technically Catholics wrote it). They were the ones responsible for carrying on the sacred Tradition established by Christ and passing on the good news to future generations. Eventually, because of differences in canon and disputes between the churches, the Church decided that they should put together an official Canon. That canon became the bible. The bible wasn't published to be the authority on the Word of God. It was published to be more of a 'guidebook' in teaching and demonstrating the Word of God (to show that Jesus was the Messiah). It was supposed to get everyone on the same page so there wasn't any more problems....obviously that didn't work out quite how they intended now did it? The Church holds on to many other sacred writings that were not included in the Bible, but those writings reference many of the writings of the Apostles that are in the Bible. These writings are from some of the greatest teachers the Church ever had, and they even maintain online libraries so you can go read and see just how the early Church Fathers interpreted scripture and exactly what they believed. My advice to you is to look up and read about the history of the Bible; it's a real eye-opener.

Paul wrote the Letter of Roman to the Ephesus

Paul of Course

Apostle Paul. The case for Pauline authorship is conclusive and practically unquestioned both in the history of the church and in modern scholarship.

Edit: Okay the Lord wrote and inspired all of Scripture

Paul.

I would have said Paul, but the correct answer had already been given by Greg. Hats off to him!!!!!
