| Does A Book Need An Author? |

12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Is it possible to have a book without an author? You can have a book with several authors who collaborated or with various authors who wrote different sections of the book. You can have a book with an unknown author.
But can you have a book with no author or authors at all? Why not?
British intellectual, C.S. Lewis, wrote: “If there were an idiot who thought plays existed on their own, without an author, our belief in Shakespeare would not be much affected by his saying that he had studied all the plays and never found Shakespeare in them.” If you can’t have plays and/or books without authors, how can we have things far more complex and profound without an author?
How can life and love, peace and joy, compassion and sacrifice, courage and principle, logic and intelligence, beauty and order, conscience and consciousness, mathematics and science — how can all these things exist without an author?
