"Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible", unfortunately written not by atheists but by modern "Bible scholars", explains each book of the Old and New Testament from the viewpoint of "Biblical Criticism". This book seems to infuse some measure of doubt as to the authenticity and authorship of almost every book of the Holy Bible. For example, they denied knowledge of the exact authorship of  (just to name a few) the Holy Books of Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, 2 Peter, Revelation, and even said that Moses probably did not write all of the Pentateuch. To them Esther was more fantasy-like than historical; and Genesis was heavily influenced by Babylonian myth. What is your Grace's comment?

Unfortunately, a lot of books at present are in line with this book. They spread doubts and question the authenticity of the Holy Bible. Being a Bible scholar does not automatically mean that one is a believer. A lot of Bible scholars and theologians today are not even Christians. The authorship of some of the books of the Holy Bible has been a debatable issue from the early Church; an issue that was dealt with at the time and ended with the canonization of these books. Nowadays,there are a sizeable number of published books that refute these ideas; one of which is "When Skeptic Ask, a handbook on Christian evidences" by Norman Geisler and Ron Brooks.
