The prophetical books of Isaiah, Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, and Zephaniah were all written during the Kingdom Era by the prophets whose names are borne by the books' titles. It may well be the last Biblical book written previous the New Testament.
Though such a date and parentage is contestable, Ecclesiastes likely finds authorship in the Post-Exilic period and is written in the voice of the character of King Solomon. The book of Proverbs was penned largely by King Solomon during his reign-though chapters 30 and 31 were written by Agur and Lemuel respectively.Īuthorship of Song of Songs (also known as Canticles) is anonymous, though the majority of scholars have historically cited Solomon as the book's probable author (there is debate because some of the book's terminology probably didn't exist in the Hebrew language until perhaps 500 BC). A number of Psalms are also written anonymously.
Other authors of Psalms include Moses ( Psalm 90), Solomon ( Psalms 72 and 127), the sons of Korah ( Psalms 42-49 84-85 and 87-88), the sons of Asaph ( Psalms 50 and 73-83), and Ethan the Ezrahite ( Psalm 89). The large portion of the Psalms were written by King David before and during his reign over Israel. Joshua, Judges, and Ruth were all likely written during (or immediately prior to) the kingly reign of David over Israel by unnamed, pro-David/anti-Saul, priestly historians.The Pentateuch ( Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) was written by Moses at the end of his life in the wilderness just prior to the Israelites' entry into Canaan.
