Who Wrote the Book of Judges? Samuel, Editors, and Evidence

Eleanor WhitmoreAugust 18, 2026

For American Bible readers, who wrote the book of Judges looks like a question that should have a one-name answer. Samuel is often the first name given in study notes, church discussions, and online Bible resources. Yet Judges never identifies its author.

Who Wrote the Book of Enoch: Origins Revealed

Eleanor WhitmoreAugust 17, 2026

Nobody actually wrote the Book of Enoch. At least not Enoch himself. That’s the honest starting point.

Eleanor WhitmoreAugust 17, 2026

If you spend time on BookTok, Bookstagram, Wattpad, or romance forums in the United States, you have probably seen novels called “smutty,” “spicy,” or “open door.” So, what is a smut book?

What Is the Longest Book in the Bible? The Answer Isn’t So Simple

Eleanor WhitmoreAugust 16, 2026

Psalms. That’s your answer. With 150 chapters and 43,743 words in the King James Version, the book of Psalms is the longest book in the Bible by almost any measure you care to use.

How Zines Influenced American Literature

How Zines Influenced American Literature and Who Gets Heard

Eleanor WhitmoreAugust 16, 2026

American literature did not grow only in publishing houses, universities, and prestigious magazines.
