Bible Authorship question [View All]

[YankeyMCC]

Hi,

I saw this quote today.

"It will yet be the proud boast of women that they never contributed a line to the Bible." -George W. Foote

I know the quote could be seen as provocative, I don't post it here to show support or disagreement with the statement about who should or should not feel proud.

I just have a question about the assumption. I will take the position that I suppose some fundamental Christians would call provocative that being the Bible was written by humans not gods.

My question is that from what I know and what seems like is that the statement is true that no women contributed to the actual writing down of the stories (seems to me they were almost certainly some of the early story tellers but maybe I'm wrong there too).

Does anyone know if there is any evidence of women doing any of the early writing of the Bible stories?

Just curious.
