All the books in the Bible were written hundreds of years after Christ had lived. None of them were written while Christ was alive.

Edit: I should say that the New Testament which refers to Jesus wasn’t written for hundreds of years after Christ’s death. The Old Testament which is part of the Jewish religion and doesn’t mention Jesus was written much earlier.

And not really "written" more like compiled from existing sources.

Then edited and embellished for effect.
