    It was never written, it was compiled. There’s like double the amount of books but the church cherry picked the books they wanted to include and ignored the ones that went against their world view. I’m the end it was put together for power and control. Even the fact that most people weren’t even allowed to read it, meant that all the “laws of god” were being filtered to you through the church and whatever it was they wanted at the time.
