How the Bible Came to Be

What if the Bible didn’t come directly from God the way many people were taught?

In this controversial episode of The Living Deeply Podcast, Markieta Carter breaks down the historical origins of the Bible — from the Torah and early Hebrew scriptures to anonymous authors, political influence, missing books, translation changes, and the centuries-long process of assembling the biblical canon.

This episode explores:

• how the Bible evolved over time,
• why many original authors remain unknown,
• how empires and religious institutions shaped scripture,
• the role of fear and conditioning in religion,
• and why questioning inherited beliefs is not the same as abandoning spirituality.

This conversation challenges listeners to think critically about religion, colonization, identity, and the difference between faith and fear-based obedience.

If you’ve ever questioned organized religion, struggled with religious conditioning, or wondered how the Bible actually came to be — this episode is for you.
