Hello Erik,
Please take a look at the following posts of mine. They talk about the Story of the Adulteress in the Bible [John 7:53-8:11], about some words about the Bible written by Pope Pius XII and in some prefaces of Protestant Bible versions, and about what Francis J. Moloney [a Roman Catholic priest and Biblical scholar] says about some of the stories of Jesus [peace be upon him] in the New Testament:

They are very long posts, so please take your time to read them carefully. I have tried my best to provide Christian sources for all that I have written.
After you have read the above posts [or before you read them, whichever order you wish], please watch the documentary Who Wrote the Bible? that was aired on Christmas Day 2004 in the UK on Channel 4. It was presented by Dr. Robert Beckford [a Christian Theologian].

Dr Robert Beckford, is looking for for good answers to what sounds like a simple question: Who wrote the Bible?
It's a question that has preoccupied biblical scholars for several generations but Beckford, who is director of the Centre for Black Theology at the University of Birmingham, forsakes the library and takes to the road in a journey from Jerusalem to Rome and on to the USA (with a stopover in Walthamstow). On the way, he talks to American pilgrims shouldering crosses on the streets of Jerusalem, to the head of the Pope's Bible Institute, to a former criminal and boxing promoter in East London, and many more.
